Brazil recorded net dollar inflows of US$9.5 billion in the week of October 26-30, the largest weekly inflow since the central bank series began in 2008, according to central bank data. Of that total, US$6.4 billion came from the trade balance and US$3.1 billion from financial flows.
October as a whole saw net inflows of US$18.2 billion, also a record.
Heavy export-driven dollar inflows support the real and reflect strong commodity export receipts, which can ease pressure on Brazilian import costs. Sustained trade surpluses from soybeans and meal help explain the currency's resilience against the dollar.
After 52 past trade events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.8%), and +0.9% over 20.
