# Brazilian Real Holds Near Two-Month Low

> 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.

## Why it matters

Geopolitical risk and a stronger dollar tend to weigh on commodity prices in dollar terms while a weaker real can support Brazilian export supply, so the net effect on soy and meal prices is mixed.
