# Dollar jumps 1.58% to close at R$5.65, highest level in 17 months

> The US dollar closed at R$5.6507, up 1.58%, its highest close since June 2, 2025. The move followed a fiscal package announced by the government with a potential impact of R$50 billion to R$60 billion in 2027, along with a stronger dollar abroad. Oil also rose, with Brent up 3.3% to US$95.82 amid US-Iran tensions.

## Why it matters

A weaker real makes Brazilian grain and meal exports more price-competitive, which can weigh on world feed prices. The oil rally adds cost pressure for freight and fuel along feed supply chains.
