Brazil’s Focus survey median forecast for the dollar at the end of 2026 edged up to R$5.35 from R$5.34. Forecasts for year-end 2028 and 2029 also rose, while the 2027 estimate remained at R$5.40.
A higher projected dollar-to-real rate implies a weaker real and a potentially higher local-currency cost for imported feed ingredients. The forecast revisions were modest and do not signal an immediate change in physical supply.
After 40 past report events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
