Brazil's economists said that Trump's sweeping US tariffs could prove relatively advantageous for Brazil, which faces a 10% levy on its exports to the US. The Brazilian real strengthened past 5.60 per US dollar, its highest level since October 2024, and the Ibovespa edged up 0.23%.
Analysts said Brazil's lighter tariff burden could shield it from trade risks and attract capital shifting away from the US.
A relatively lighter US tariff on Brazilian exports, compared with rivals, supports Brazilian export competitiveness and capital inflows, which pushes the real stronger and lowers USD/BRL. Stronger exporter demand for Brazilian commodities could also follow if trade flows shift toward Brazil.

Brazil's relatively light 10% US tariff and expected capital rotation away from the US supported BRL strength, though the real had already strengthened past 5.60 by 3 April and the move into 9 April is larger and may include later dynamics.
