Brazil's real sold off on Thursday after the government announced higher IOF financial transaction taxes, including a 3.5% levy on foreign currency purchases, remittances and offshore fund transfers. The finance ministry expects the measures to raise 20 billion reais in 2025 and 41 billion reais in 2026.
A weaker real raises the cost of Brazilian feed and grain exports in dollar terms and can shift export selling and farm margins. The tax also signals fiscal stress that keeps the currency volatile.
Setelah 12 peristiwa kebijakan bullish sebelumnya, Real Brasil (BRL per USD) bergerak median +1,5% selama 5 sesi (58% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -1,1% sampai +2,0%), dan +2,3% selama 20 sesi.
