SAO PAULO/SANTIAGO, May 6 (Reuters) - Inflation slowed in
Brazil and Chile in April as price-fighting efforts by
policy-makers gained traction, prompting some economists and
investors to scale back expectations for interest rate hikes.
The slower pace of inflation in April eases pressure on
central banks in both countries to raise interest rates sharply
to contain prices, which would risk derailing brisk growth.
