The Brazilian dollar rate approached R$5.60 on Monday after the U.S.-EU trade agreement lifted the dollar against most currencies. The spot dollar closed up 0.54% at R$5.5925, its highest since June 4, though it remains down 9.49% for the year.
A stronger dollar driven by the U.S.-EU deal makes dollar-priced grains and oilseeds more expensive for importers using other currencies and can weigh on commodity prices. The move in the real is largely a reflection of broad dollar strength rather than a Brazil-specific shock.
