USD/BRL reference rises 1.48% in week of 13.75% Selic pause

Brazil’s PTAX midpoint rose 1.48% over the week to R$5.5010 per US dollar on November 6. The real weakened despite the central bank holding the Selic rate at 13.75%.

WHY IT MATTERS

A weaker real can raise the local cost of imported feed ingredients and other commodities priced in dollars. The move points to upward pressure on the USD/BRL exchange rate.
