In brief: Brazil’s real strengthens

* The Brazilian real has appreciated against the US dollar, closing the day at R$4.90/US$1 yesterday (24 June), its strongest point since 9 June 2020.

A weaker dollar and the short-term effects of the Brazilian central bank’s (BCB) monetary policy moves can help explain the real’s recent gains, but questions surrounding future economic reforms are likely to dim prospects for the foreign exchange rate in the medium term.
