# Brazilian Real Hits 15-Month Low as USD/BRL Surges After US Inflation

> USD/BRL rose 1.46% on November 10 to R$5.5860, its highest close since July 2025, after hotter-than-expected US inflation strengthened the dollar. Brazil’s fiscal concerns and central-bank minutes warning of persistent inflation also weighed on sentiment, with the Ibovespa down 0.52%.

## Why it matters

A weaker real makes imported feed and agricultural inputs more expensive in Brazil, while potentially improving export competitiveness. The currency move therefore raises local feed-cost risk for buyers.
