# Dollar today turns lower as traders watch fiscal policy and economic data

> The dollar fell against the real on Friday, reversing part of the previous session's gain. Traders were weighing a fiscal package approved by the Senate, which is projected to deliver up to R$60 billion in 2027 measures, and recent domestic and external economic data. Investors said the package depends heavily on revenue rather than structural spending cuts.

## Why it matters

A firmer real lowers the local cost of imported inputs such as fertilizer and feed ingredients, while fiscal uncertainty can keep the currency volatile. The move has limited direct effect on grain prices.
