The Brazilian real traded near 5.19 per USD, close to a two-month low, as broad dollar strength and Middle East tensions after a US helicopter was shot down near the Strait of Hormuz lifted safe-haven demand. Markets are pricing a pause in Brazil's easing cycle, while the real had briefly strengthened below 5.00 after a first-round election result.
