The Brazilian real closed the week of July 29 at 5.173 per dollar, falling over 30 centavos and erasing its monthly gains. StoneX lists bullish drivers including Fed tightening, October election fiscal risk and European gas cuts, and bearish drivers including an expected Selic rate hike to 13.75%.
A sharp move in the real changes the dollar cost of Brazilian soybeans, corn and meal, which affects export competitiveness and world feed prices. Fiscal and political risk keeps the currency volatile.
