The dollar rose 0.68% against the real on November 5, closing at R$5.4886, as losses in US technology stocks and uncertainty after the US midterm elections heightened risk aversion. Brazil’s Selic rate remained at 13.75%, providing some support to the real, while fiscal policy concerns persisted.
A weaker real can raise the local cost of imported feed inputs and support the competitiveness of Brazilian exports. The move is supportive for USDBRL.
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.
