Latin American currencies rose on July 21 after Trump criticized Fed rate policy and urged weaker dollar conditions. The Brazilian real gained about 2%, the Chilean peso 0.57% and the Mexican peso 0.06%.
A stronger real raises the dollar cost of Brazilian exports, which can modestly support US and global grain and meal prices relative to Brazilian supply.
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.
