Danske Bank expects the Central Bank of Brazil to keep easing through 2017 and 2018 after its 100bp cut to 8.25% in September. It forecasts USD/BRL at 3.15 in three months, 3.10 in six months and 3.05 in twelve months, citing political turbulence around President Temer as the main risk.
A firmer real over the coming year would make Brazilian soybean and corn exports more expensive in dollar terms, which is mildly supportive for US competitors and for feed grain prices.
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.
