# Brazilian Real Strengthens for 2nd Session

> The Brazilian real strengthened past 5.16-5.3 per US dollar, reaching its strongest level since May 2024 as the dollar weakened on expectations of a December Fed rate cut. Brazil's unemployment fell to 5.4% and real wages rose, while the Central Bank held the Selic at 15%.
