The Brazilian real weakened against the US dollar on the morning of November 12, with spot dollar trading around R$5.62, its highest level in 15 months. The move followed frustration with the government's proposed fiscal package and broad dollar strength against emerging-market currencies.
A weaker real raises the local-currency cost of imported feed inputs and makes Brazilian soybean meal and corn exports more competitive, which tends to support export-linked feed prices.
After 301 past bullish macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.2% to +1.7%), and +1.0% over 20.
