The Brazilian real closed the week of September 30 at BRL 5.394 per USD, a 2.8% weekly loss against the dollar. Risk aversion in Brazil and abroad drove the move, with traders weighing a aggressive US Federal Reserve tightening cycle and the upcoming presidential runoff.
A weaker real raises the local-currency cost of imported feed inputs and supports Brazilian export competitiveness for soybeans, corn and meal. Dollar strength against the real tends to lift Brazilian export offers.
After 301 past bullish macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.2% to +1.7%), and +1.0% over 20.
