# FX Weekly Summary (Brazil Issue)

> The Brazilian real ended the week steady at BRL 5.169 per dollar, reflecting the Copom decision to raise the Selic rate to 13.75% and high US-China geopolitical tension. Analysts flagged Fed tightening and Brazil's October election risks as bullish for the dollar against the real, while a strong July trade surplus was a bearish factor.
