Danske Bank forecasts USD/BRL at 3.40 in three months, 3.60 in six months and 3.80 in twelve, which is more bearish on the real than market expectations. The bank cites weak Q1 2017 GDP, aggressive central bank rate cuts and political turmoil that could slow fiscal adjustment.
A weaker real tends to make Brazilian soybean meal, corn and other exports cheaper for international buyers, which can pressure global feed ingredient prices.
