# After rising, dollar remains above R$ 5.60 on this Saturday

> The commercial dollar closed at R$5.65 on Thursday, its highest close since June 2025, driven by investor dissatisfaction with the government's tax package and dollar strength abroad. It opened Friday at R$5.64. Ibovespa fell, and oil rose on US-Iran tensions with Brent at US$95.82.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar against the real raises Brazil's cost of imported inputs, while supporting the competitiveness of Brazilian soybean meal and corn exports. Higher oil prices lift diesel and freight costs for feed logistics.
