The dollar opened lower against the Brazilian real on Friday as investors watched a Senate vote on the government's fiscal package. The Senate approved the main text 45-31 late Thursday, with four points still to vote before it goes to the Chamber of Deputies.
The package is estimated to affect public accounts by up to R$60 billion in 2027.
Fiscal tightening in Brazil reduces pressure on the real and could ease import costs for feed ingredients priced in dollars. Lingering doubts about the adjustment's size keep the currency under pressure, which supports Brazilian export competitiveness for soybean meal and corn.
After 92 past neutral macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.7% to +1.4%), and +0.4% over 20.
