The Brazilian spot dollar closed near stability at R$5.6549 on November 13, after touching a low of R$5.6319 and a high of R$5.6669. For the week it gained 2.66%, making the real the weakest major currency over the period.
Investors cited doubts about Brazil's public debt and a repricing of the US interest rate cycle.
A weaker real raises the local cost of imported feed inputs and can support Brazilian export competitiveness for soy and corn, a mild bearish influence on dollar-priced feed commodities.
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.
