Brazil's central bank said it would keep intervening in the foreign exchange market in whatever size is needed to keep trading orderly. Its $3 billion spot auction on Monday tripled the size announced the previous Friday and followed nearly $10 billion in dollar swap auctions in recent weeks.
The move followed a collapse in oil prices that drove sharp volatility across world markets.
A central bank commitment to unlimited intervention caps further real weakness, which lowers the dollar-denominated cost of Brazilian export commodities. The oil price shock is also a global demand and risk-sentiment factor for commodity prices.
