Brazil received US$9.5 billion in foreign currency in the week of October 26 to 30, the highest weekly inflow since the central bank began the series in 2008. The real had fallen 9.2% against the dollar that week, and commercial inflows of US$6.43 billion suggest exporters converted revenue at the weaker exchange rate.
Exporters selling dollars at a weaker real adds supply of dollars and supports the currency. For feed buyers, a stronger real would lower the local cost of imported ingredients, but the inflow also shows how much exporters are holding back sales at lower prices.
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.
