# Spot dollar reaches highest level since July 2025 amid mix of local and external risks

> The spot dollar rose 1.48% against the real to R$5.5860, its highest close since July 2025. Stronger-than-expected US inflation and hawkish Federal Reserve comments supported the dollar, while Brazil-specific uncertainty and weaker oil prices weighed on the real.

## Why it matters

The weaker real can increase Brazilian buyers’ local-currency costs for imported feed ingredients. The external rate outlook and lower oil prices added pressure to the currency, but the report does not identify a direct change in grain supply or demand.
