The Brazilian real and stocks fell after the incoming Lula government proposed a constitutional amendment exempting about 175 billion reais from the 2023 spending cap. Analysts said the waiver could be permanent, prompting selling in Brazilian assets and other emerging market currencies.
A weaker real improves Brazil's export margins for soybeans, corn and meal, which can encourage farmer selling and pressure dollar-denominated feed 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.
