The Brazilian real closed at R$5.65 per US dollar, its weakest close since June 2025, as external pressures weighed on the currency. Long-term Brazilian interest rates returned above 15% and the Ibovespa fell 0.43%.
A weaker real raises the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients and fertilizers for Brazilian buyers, while high domestic rates tighten financing for producers and feed mills. Oil-driven and US Treasury-driven pressure on emerging-market currencies adds to the volatility of Brazilian feed input costs.
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.
