Brazil's real fell about 1% on Tuesday as presidential campaigns began, with investors watching the October election. A poll showed leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva leading far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro by 12 percentage points.
Other Latin American currencies also slipped amid recession worries.
Political risk and a possible Lula win could weaken the real, making Brazilian-origin feed and grain exports cheaper in dollar terms and supporting Brazilian export competitiveness. Recession worries add to demand uncertainty for commodities.
Setelah 301 peristiwa makro bullish sebelumnya, Real Brasil (BRL per USD) bergerak median +0,4% selama 5 sesi (57% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -1,2% sampai +1,7%), dan +1,0% selama 20 sesi.
