The Brazilian real, the worst-performing floating EM currency in 2020, has recovered about 10% against the dollar over the last two weeks, returning to 5.3 per dollar from above 5.9. The article notes that the Covid-19 epidemic is accelerating sharply in Brazil and that capital flight and falling oil prices have weighed on the currency.
