Dollar rises against the real with US employment data and economic policy in focus

The dollar edged higher against the real as markets awaited the US October employment report and further signals on the economic agenda of Brazil’s incoming Lula government. The spot dollar was up 0.29% at R$5.5037 in the morning.

WHY IT MATTERS

Expectations for US employment and uncertainty over Brazilian policy can move the dollar-real exchange rate, affecting the local cost of imported feed ingredients. The report’s release later showed stronger-than-expected hiring, but this article describes the market before that release.
