Brazil’s real currency is expected to remain steady due to concerns over external accounts. Analysts predict a 1.9% drop to 5.75 per dollar in 12 months. Itau Unibanco analysts cite interest rates and U.S.-China trade talks as supporting factors. Challenges for Brazil’s exporters include a decrease in poultry and soybean shipments.
For the Mexican peso, 5 of 12 respondents expect strengthening, 4 see weakening risks, and 3 are neutral. The peso is forecasted to depreciate 6% to 20.46 per U.S. dollar in 12 months. In Argentina, the peso is expected to trade at 1,440 per dollar in line with the official trading band.
Year-to-date, the real has gained 9.6%, the Mexican peso is up 8.3%, and Argentina’s currency has lost 13%. Despite concerns, the real has performed better than expected due to support from interest rates and global currency trends. Investor doubts over Brazil’s economy add to concerns about fiscal deficits.
