# Dollar at R$5.58 amid Copom minutes and strong U.S. CPI; flows are today’s focus

> The dollar closed the previous session at R$5.5863 after briefly trading above R$5.62. Investors reacted to Brazil’s central bank minutes and stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation, which increased speculation about a larger Federal Reserve rate hike; the article also noted that lower oil prices followed President Trump’s comments on Iran.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar against the real can increase Brazil’s costs for imported feed and inputs. The currency pressure reflects interest-rate expectations and monetary-policy uncertainty, while the oil-price decline may ease energy costs.
