A Reuters poll of 31 FX strategists expects the Brazilian real to trade at 5.36 per dollar in three months and 5.48 over the twelve months to October 2026. Strategists flagged the weakest balance of risks since February, citing the presidential election and fiscal concerns.
Forecasts of a weaker real into the 2026 election would gradually raise the BRL cost of Brazilian exports, a mild support for dollar-denominated soy and corn prices over the longer term.
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.
