Rabobank expects the Brazilian real to weaken to 5.35 per dollar by year-end, citing a narrower rate differential, a possible global dollar recovery and fiscal risk in an election year. The real closed the prior week at 5.1462 per dollar, a 0.49% weekly depreciation.
A weaker real would make Brazilian commodity exports cheaper in dollar terms, which can pressure world soybean, corn and meal prices and widen Brazil's export advantage.
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.
