The Brazilian real fell nearly 4% on Friday, leading losses among major emerging-market currencies. The move followed comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that a half-point rate hike would be on the table, and the dollar rose to a more than two-year high.

Powell's signal of a 50bp hike lifted the dollar to a two-year high and drove a ~4% one-day BRL drop, the largest single contributor to the 5-day move (currency/sentiment).
The Friday 4/22 near-4% BRL drop on Powell's hawkish comments (50bp hike) and a two-year-high dollar set the stage and carried momentum into the Monday move, though it falls just before the window.
