# The Japan Times - Dollar falls after US elections; Ibovespa rises

> The US dollar fell against the Brazilian real on Wednesday, November 4, after Democrats won majorities in both houses of Congress and US Treasury yields declined. The real strengthened moderately amid domestic fiscal concerns and before the central bank announced its rate decision; the Ibovespa rose 1.23%.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar and lower US yields can support emerging-market currencies, including the real, making dollar-priced imports cheaper in Brazil. The exchange-rate move could therefore ease local costs for imported feed inputs, although the article gives no commodity-specific supply news.
