Commerzbank analyst Michael Pfister expects the Brazilian real's strong run to pause, with higher USD/BRL levels in coming months as fiscal expansion, renewed inflation and a polarized election weigh on sentiment. He forecasts USD/BRL at 4.80 by end-2027.
An expected weaker real would make Brazilian soybean, corn and meal exports cheaper on world markets, adding competitive supply pressure against US origin feed ingredients.
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.
After 117 past bearish macro events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (41% higher; middle half -2.5% to +1.7%), and +0.5% over 20.
After 273 past bearish macro events, Soybeans moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.4% to +1.4%), and -0.5% over 20.

Commerzbank flagged fiscal expansion, renewed inflation and election polarization as drivers of a real correction, which fits the sentiment-driven USD/BRL rise, though it was published a week before the window's end and is only a forecast.
