Brazil's real opened weaker against the dollar on Monday after violent protests by Bolsonaro supporters stormed government buildings in Brasilia. Analysts warned the political shock could leave a lasting risk premium on Brazilian assets.
Political instability weakening the real makes Brazilian soy and corn exports cheaper in dollar terms, which can weigh on global feed meal prices.
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 117 past bearish macro events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (41% higher; middle half -2.5% to +1.7%), and +0.5% over 20.
