Macro trader Greg Coffey is betting there’s room for Brazil’s central bank to embark on a much more aggressive easing cycle when policymakers gather next month.

Coffey, whose Kirkoswald Asset Management has posted double-digit returns the last four years, said Brazil’s central bank would be “fully justified” in cutting interest rates by a full percentage point at the next meeting, according to an excerpt of an investor letter seen by Bloomberg.
