# Dollar closes at R$5.65, highest since June 2025; Ibovespa falls

> The Brazilian real weakened sharply on November 12, with the commercial dollar closing up 1.62% at R$5.652, its highest since June 2, 2025. The Ibovespa index fell 0.80%, pressured by Banco do Brasil shares and doubts over public-accounts adjustment. Stronger US inflation data and Federal Reserve comments boosted bets on further US rate hikes.

## Why it matters

A weaker real makes Brazilian soybeans, corn and meal cheaper in dollar terms, which tends to push farmers to sell and weighs on world feed prices. Fiscal doubts and rising US rate expectations are the main drivers.
