BRASIL: Central Bank Prepares For First Interest Rate Hike In 2 Years.
REUTERS/ Central bankers are said to be ready to raise the interest rate on April 28 to curb inflation pressure as jobs data show the country's strong economic rebound.

The bank is also preparing a series of changes in foreign exchange rules to slow currency inflows and offset dollars from investors hungry for higher yields.
