Danske Bank raised its near-term Brazilian real forecasts after the lower house of Congress rejected a motion to put President Temer on trial, with USD/BRL now seen at 3.05 in one month and 3.00 in three months. The bank cites the 4% BRL gain over the past 30 days and expected portfolio inflows, while flagging a more hawkish Fed as the main upside risk to its forecast.
A stronger real reduces the dollar-based competitiveness of Brazilian soy and corn exports, which can slightly support US feed grain and meal prices. The effect is limited because this is a currency forecast tied to politics rather than a crop or trade shock.
