Brazil's central bank president announced up to $20 billion of extra foreign-exchange swap auctions to curb the dollar's rise. The real had closed down 2.3% that day, its weakest level since March 2016.

Large swap intervention is aimed at limiting real weakness, which would otherwise make Brazilian soy and corn cheaper for export. The outcome for the real will determine how aggressively Brazilian exporters sell into global markets.
