The US dollar closed up 0.43% against the Brazilian real at R$5.3814 on October 30, 2025, extending a broad dollar advance after the Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points and signaled uncertainty about a December cut. The move also reflected the US-China trade agreement, under which Trump said tariffs would be reduced in exchange for China resuming US soybean purchases.
A firmer dollar and weaker real make Brazilian exports cheaper in dollar terms, which can pressure soybean and meal prices, while resumed Chinese soybean buying supports US soybean demand and prices.
