巴西雷亚尔兑美元汇率跌破5.47,从7月3日的9个月高点5.41回落,因为特朗普总统将互惠关税最后期限推迟到8月1日,并威胁对金砖国家联盟国家征收额外关税,将寻求收益的资本吸引回发达市场,美元因此上涨。与此同时,巴西基石出口原油和铁矿石价格疲软,侵蚀了硬通货流入,而6月份贸易逆差的意外扩大和工业生产的意外收缩破坏了早期复苏的迹象。然而,央行维持15%的利率,以控制目前高于目标的通货膨胀,这使得进一步降息的空间很小,并巩固了巴西的利率优势,限制了雷亚尔的下行压力。
The Brazilian real slid past 5.47 per USD, giving back gains from its nine-month peak of 5.41 on July 3rd, as the US dollar has rallied on news that President Trump has pushed his reciprocal-tariff deadline out to August 1st, and threatened additional duties on BRICS-aligned nations, luring yield-seeking capital back to developed markets. At the same time, softening prices for Brazil’s cornerstone exports, crude oil and iron ore, have eroded hard-currency inflows, while a surprise widening of June’s trade deficit and an unexpected contraction in industrial production undermined earlier signs of a nascent recovery. However, the central bank’s 15% interest rate, maintained to rein in inflation now running above target, leaves scant room for further cuts and solidifies Brazil’s interest-rate edge, limiting downward pressure on the real.
