# Brazilian real up on fiscal relief; Peru's sol falls amid political turmoil | Financial Post

> Brazil's real rose 0.6% after a congressional committee approved unfunded extra public spending of 145 billion reais, below the 175 billion proposed. Peru's sol fell over 2% at its session low before trading down 1.4% as Congress voted to remove President Pedro Castillo.

## Why it matters

Political instability in Peru, a major copper and fishmeal producer, and fiscal developments in Brazil, a large soymeal and corn exporter, move the currencies that set the real cost of their exports to buyers. A weaker real tends to make Brazilian soymeal and corn cheaper for export markets.
