# Brazilian markets gain momentum on easing inflation outlook

> Brazilian markets rallied on August 12 after softer-than-expected domestic and US inflation data weakened the dollar. The real closed at R$5.38, its strongest level since June 2024, and the Ibovespa rose sharply. Futures rates fell on renewed bets for a Selic rate-cutting cycle.

## Why it matters

A stronger real raises the dollar cost of Brazilian soybeans and meal, which can support international prices. The move reflects currency and rate expectations rather than crop supply.
