IMF Working Paper-Financial and Business Cycles in Brazil
January 24, 2017--Summary: This paper explores the nexus between the financial cycle and business cycle in Brazil. Cycles are estimated using a variety of commonly-used statistical methods and with a small, semistructural model of the Brazilian economy.
An advantage of using the model-based approach is that financial and business cycles can be jointly estimated, allowing information from all key economic relationships to be used in a consistent way. The results show that Brazil is now in the downturn phase of the financial cycle. Moreover, the results underscore the importance of macro-financial linkages and highlight risks to the recovery going forward.

Macro
Markets seem to be bugged by indecision as summed up by The Clash in 1982 as the rally stalled out, treasury yields have drifted lower very quietly and the VIX is hovering below 12 as today

There are several unresolved issues for the new President including whether he is or is not in violation of the Emoluments Clause in Article 1 of the US Constitution, the fact that only about 10% of the administration appointments he needs to make have been filled and perhaps on a less serious note, whether he plans to alter his Tweeting habits.
