Rabobank forecasts USD/BRL rising to 5.35 by year-end from about 5.08, citing narrowing interest-rate differentials and a firmer global dollar. It also points to Brazil's fragile fiscal position ahead of the 2026 elections.
The bank advises derivative traders to position for a weaker real.
A weaker real would make Brazilian soybean, corn and meat exports cheaper in dollar terms, which can add pressure to global prices. The forecast is a view rather than a realized move, so its market impact is limited.
After 301 past bullish macro events, USDBRL moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.2% to +1.7%), and +1.0% over 20.
