The Brazilian real strengthened past the key 5-per-dollar level for the first time since July, extending its year-to-date gain to more than 11.4% and making it the world's best-performing currency this year. Investors are focusing on Brazil's high yields and cheap stocks despite political risks.
Traders are now watching 4.87 per dollar as the next resistance level.
A stronger real makes Brazilian exports more expensive in dollar terms and lowers the local-currency cost of imported inputs, which can ease pressure on Brazilian feed and meal prices. The move is currency-driven rather than a change in crop supply.
