Rabobank analysts estimate that external and domestic factors contributed roughly equally to the Brazilian real's 2016 outperformance, driven by lower country risk and higher commodity prices. They forecast the real strengthening toward 3.05 per dollar by December 2017, with a year-end range of 3.05 to 3.25.
A forecast of further real appreciation would make Brazilian commodity exports less competitive on the world market, a modestly bearish factor for soy and corn export prices, while higher raw material costs partly offset this.
