Brazil's Senate approved the main text of the government's fiscal adjustment package by 45 votes to 31 on November 12. The dollar closed Friday at R$5.65, its highest level of 2026.
Four amendments are scheduled for a vote on November 17 before the bill goes to the lower house.
Fiscal consolidation can help stabilize the real, but the currency's record-high level keeps Brazilian exports cheaper for feed buyers abroad and supports local grain sales.
After 301 past bullish macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.2% to +1.7%), and +1.0% over 20.
