The dollar closed up 1.46% against the real on November 10 at R$5.5863, reaching its strongest level since July 2025. Higher-than-expected US inflation boosted expectations of a Federal Reserve rate increase, while the Brazilian central bank’s meeting minutes added to investor caution; the Ibovespa fell 0.52%.
A stronger dollar raises the cost of imported feed and agricultural inputs for Brazilian buyers. The exchange-rate pressure is a moderate cost headwind, rather than a direct change in commodity supply.
