Interest in papers linked to basic interest rates is justified by the high level of the Selic rate. The rate, which was 10.5% per year until September last year, was raised to 15% per year.
With the expectation of new highs, the papers remain attractive. Titles linked to inflation have also attracted investors because of the expectation of discharge from official inflation in the coming months.

This rise occurred because of interest correction and because sales exceeded redemptions of R $ 2.84 billion in the last month.
