The dollar rose slightly against the real as investors considered Brazil’s updated economic outlook and awaited trade-balance figures. The Focus survey raised its 2027 inflation forecast to 4.90% from 4.76% and indicated that analysts expected the next policy-rate cut only in March.
Higher inflation expectations and delayed rate cuts can weigh on the real, potentially raising Brazilian buyers’ local-currency costs for imported feed ingredients. The trade-balance release could also influence the exchange rate, but no result was reported in the text.
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.
