Most Latin American currencies weakened against a stronger dollar on Monday as attention turned to the August 1 deadline for new U.S. tariffs. The Brazilian real fell 0.5% to a one-week low, the Mexican peso dropped 1.3%, and Brazil's Bovespa index hit a three-month low.
Approaching tariff deadlines on Brazil and Mexico, two major feed-exporting economies, add uncertainty to trade flows and currency values. A weaker real can support Brazilian export competitiveness, which may limit upside in global feed prices.
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.
