TD Securities strategist Sacha Tihanyi says the failure to hold a CCJ vote last week shows pension reform is less likely to pass before the summer recess. He expects a middling reform outcome and sees the real weakening toward 4.20 per US dollar in the near term.
Expected real weakness raises the BRL cost of dollar-priced feed imports for Brazilian buyers. A reform rally later in the year could reverse that pressure.
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.
