Brazil's central bank president said the country is ready to sell foreign exchange reserves to keep intervening in the currency market if needed. Any bond market intervention would be much smaller.
The real had lost about 30% of its value against the dollar this year.
FX intervention can slow the real's decline, which helps contain the local cost of dollar-priced feed and fertilizer imports. Limited bond buying means the central bank is not signaling a major shift in monetary support.
Setelah 13 peristiwa kebijakan bearish sebelumnya, Real Brasil (BRL per USD) bergerak median -3,4% selama 5 sesi (15% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -3,4% sampai -1,3%), dan -1,9% selama 20 sesi.
Pergerakan benchmark setiap komoditas dari penutupan terakhir sebelum peristiwa. Pembacaan historis menggabungkan peristiwa serupa di masa lalu; itu menggambarkan apa yang terjadi, bukan apa yang akan terjadi. Bukan nasihat investasi.
The central bank's readiness to sell FX reserves and intervene supports the real by reducing disorderly depreciation risk and boosting dollar supply.
