Brazil's real rose 0.1% on Monday after central bank intervention, as it outperformed most Latin American currencies. The central bank will hold extra twice-weekly currency swap auctions starting September 27 to meet banks' demand from unwinding hedges.
The real is down about 3% so far this year amid political uncertainty ahead of next year's elections.
Central bank swap auctions are supporting the real and smoothing currency moves, which lowers near-term import and export price swings for Brazilian commodities. Political risk remains a source of volatility.
