> The dollar closed down 0.06% at R$5.5048, while Brazil’s Ibovespa rose 1.89% during the session. A rebound on Wall Street and gains in Vale and bank shares supported the Brazilian stock index, while falling oil prices weighed on energy stocks.

## Why it matters

A slightly stronger real makes dollar-priced imported feed and inputs cheaper in local-currency terms, all else equal. The movement was small and does not indicate a new change in agricultural supply or demand.
