StoneX's weekly FX review says the Brazilian real gained 2.0% against the dollar for the week, with the dollar index up 0.6% on the week after a 4.4% monthly drop. Currency markets were volatile on mixed signals from US-China trade negotiations.
A weaker real makes Brazilian soybean, corn and meal exports cheaper in dollar terms, so currency moves feed into Brazilian export competitiveness and global feed prices.
After 213 past bearish macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.5% to +0.9%), and +0.2% over 20.
After 359 past neutral macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
