ING's FX outlook for 2022 expects the Brazilian real to weaken further due to loose fiscal policy ahead of the October election and an aggressive central bank tightening cycle. It expects the Mexican peso to outperform, and notes that Peru and Chile currencies have already fallen sharply in 2021.
Expected real weakness would make Brazilian grain and meal exports more price-competitive in 2022, while a firmer peso supports Mexican import demand for US feed grains.
After 213 past bearish macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.5% to +0.9%), and +0.2% over 20.
