UBS BB cut its exchange rate forecasts for the Brazilian real, now seeing fair value at R$5.40 per dollar at end-2025 and end-2026, firmer than its earlier R$5.80 and R$5.86 projections. The bank cites US monetary easing and high Brazilian interest rates.
A firmer real forecast lowers the local-currency value of Brazilian grain and oilseed exports, which can modestly tighten export competitiveness and support dollar-denominated feed prices.
After 213 past bearish macro events, USDBRL moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.5% to +0.9%), and +0.2% over 20.
