ING says the Brazilian real underperformed in a supportive carry environment after a bank downgraded Brazilian equities and a poll showed Lula widening his lead ahead of the October elections. The bank views this as the first real political hit to the currency this year.
It expects high implied yields and Brazil's net energy exporter status to limit downside, with USD/BRL unlikely to break 5.22 on local news alone.
Political pressure on the real can make Brazilian soybean and corn exports more competitive in the short term. The bank's view that the dollar would need to strengthen broadly to push USD/BRL higher suggests limited direct effect on feed prices.
