The Brazilian real closed November 2019 at a record low against the U.S. dollar, at 4.24 per dollar on November 29, a 5.6% depreciation from October. The real was down 8.4% year to date, weighed on by interest rate cuts and a worsening trade balance.
A persistently weak real lowers the dollar price of Brazilian soybean meal, corn and other feed exports, pressuring global feed ingredient prices.
After 301 past bullish macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.2% to +1.7%), and +1.0% over 20.
