Dollar closes the week at its highest level of the year, at R$5.50; Focus now sees Selic at 11% at end-2028

The Brazilian real weakened, with the dollar’s Ptax rate closing Friday at R$5.5013, its highest level of 2026, and reaching R$5.5151 in Monday’s trading. The Central Bank’s Focus survey also showed higher inflation expectations for 2027 and a Selic rate forecast of 11% for the end of 2028.

WHY IT MATTERS

A weaker real raises the local-currency cost of imported commodities and agricultural inputs, potentially increasing feed and fertilizer costs for Brazilian buyers. Higher interest-rate expectations can also tighten domestic financing conditions and weigh on demand.
