Brazil's Ibovespa fell 10% on October 26, triggering a circuit breaker that suspended trading for 30 minutes, the first such halt since March 2020. Intraday losses reached more than 17% and the dollar briefly rose to about 5.6 reais.
Brazil also cancelled government bond auctions scheduled for that week.
Severe financial stress in Brazil can weaken the real and tighten credit, affecting farm financing and the dollar cost of Brazilian grain and meal exports that set global 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.
