The Brazilian real fell about 0.5% on November 8, 2021, after IGP-DI inflation rose 1.60% in October. The Chilean peso gained 1.2% as central bank data showed October copper export revenue up 23% year on year.
Persistent Brazilian inflation and rate hikes weigh on the real, which can make Brazilian grain and meal exports cheaper abroad, while stronger copper revenues show commodity export strength in Chile.
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.
