StoneX's weekly FX outlook for Brazil says the real closed the week of May 24 at 5.168 per dollar, a 1.3% weekly gain for the dollar. The Federal Reserve minutes and stronger-than-expected US activity data supported the dollar, and the outlook flags fiscal and inflation risks in Brazil.
Expectations of higher-for-longer US rates and Brazilian fiscal risk point to a firmer dollar against the real, which can make Brazilian grain and meal exports more competitive.
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.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
