The Brazilian real rallied more than 7% against the dollar over four weeks, with USD/BRL falling from 3.3485 to 3.1111 before stabilising near 3.1450. The move followed reduced odds of corruption charges against President Temer and Senate approval of a labour reform.
A stronger real makes Brazilian grain and meal exports more expensive in dollar terms, which can support Brazilian-origin soybean and corn prices in USD while the currency trend persists.
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.
