The Brazilian real stabilized near 5.24 per US dollar as higher-than-expected mid-March IPCA-15 inflation of 0.44% offset a stronger greenback. Traders also weighed Iran's rejection of a US peace proposal and rising Treasury yields.
Persistent domestic inflation keeps the central bank restrictive, while a weaker real raises Brazil's import costs for feed inputs and fuel. Dollar strength tends to push US dollar-priced grain and meal export values higher relative to Brazilian buyers.
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.
