The dollar rose 1.46% against the real to R$5.5863, its highest close since July 2025, after reaching R$5.61 during the session. US inflation exceeded forecasts, lifting expectations for Federal Reserve rate increases, while Brazil’s Copom minutes added to market caution.
The stronger dollar raises the local-currency cost of imported feed and agricultural inputs in Brazil. Higher US rate expectations can sustain pressure on the real and increase that cost exposure for buyers.
