The Brazilian real weakened against the dollar and euro during the week of June 26-30, 2023, after Copom minutes pointed to possible rate cuts in August. USD/BRL held support near 4.7520 while EUR/BRL broke above a falling wedge pattern.
A softer real on rate-cut expectations supports Brazilian export competitiveness for soybeans, meal and corn, which can pressure world prices for these commodities.
