Brazil’s Ibovespa edged up around midday, supported by bank shares but held back by declines in Vale and Petrobras. The dollar rose 1.24% to R$5.574, while Brent fell below $90 a barrel amid signs of easing US-Iran tensions.
The stronger dollar can raise the cost of imported feed and fertilizer inputs in Brazil. Lower crude prices may ease energy-related costs, though the article reports no direct change in agricultural commodity supply.
