ING notes that markets are pricing Fed rate cuts, but flags risks from Mexican judicial reform, Brazilian fiscal accounts with a late-August policy statement, and weaker copper affecting Chile. ING forecasts USD/BRL near 5.50 and expects Brazil's Selic rate to be at 10.50% with hikes priced in.
Brazilian fiscal and rate dynamics affect the real, which in turn shapes Brazilian export pricing for soybeans, corn and meal, relevant to feed buyers globally.
After 92 past neutral macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.7% to +1.4%), and +0.4% over 20.
