Analysts expect the dollar to close the year between R$5.30 and R$5.50, though R$6 remains a risk. Recent dollar strength reflects bets on more aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes and US inflation data above expectations.
Goldman Sachs views part of the real's depreciation after the Brazilian election as an overreaction.
If the real weakens toward R$6, Brazilian feed exports become cheaper for foreign buyers, while imported feed and fertilizer inputs become more expensive for domestic producers.
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.
