BNP Paribas says Brazilian markets are diverging from a robust real economy, with political and fiscal risks weighing on the currency, equities and yield curve. Strong consumption and low unemployment are noted, with inflation relatively subdued.
Fiscal and political risk weighing on the real raises the cost of imported feed inputs and can shift the export incentive for Brazilian grain sellers.
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.
