# Brazilian Real Hits Lowest Since May

> The real weakened toward 5.62 per dollar, its weakest since May 2025, as the Senate may delay a vote on the government's fiscal adjustment bill. The bill is projected to save R$50 billion to R$60 billion in 2027. Annual inflation rose to 4.63% in October, above the central bank's target ceiling.

## Why it matters

Currency weakness raises the local cost of imported inputs and can encourage faster Brazilian export sales, affecting soy and corn price spreads. Persistent inflation may keep interest rates high, which raises the cost of carrying feed inventories.
