# Particle: Dollar Weakens After U.S. Midterms as Brazil Gains Are Limited by Policy Risk and Oil Slide

> Democrats' control of both US chambers reduced expectations of abrupt US policy shifts, pushing Treasury yields and the dollar lower against emerging-market currencies. The Brazilian real closed at R$5.451 after an intraday high of R$5.498, and Brent fell about 8.7% to $94.62.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar and lower oil reduce input costs for feed, but domestic fiscal risk caps the real's gains, leaving dollar-priced feed imports relatively firm for Brazilian buyers.
