ING's FX commentary expects the Fed to avoid closing the door on further easing after the December meeting, citing last year's equity sell-off. It also notes Brazil likely completing its easing cycle with a 50 basis point cut and sees the dollar holding above 97.35 on the DXY.
Brazil's rate cuts and a stable dollar are relevant to the BRL and to Brazilian export competitiveness for soy and corn, though the impact on prices is modest.
After 92 past neutral macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.7% to +1.4%), and +0.4% over 20.
