The Truth About Brazil’s Economy: Is the Real Near R$6.63?
It’s becoming clear that the market is no longer buying into the government’s optimistic narrative. The promise to eliminate the fiscal deficit, for example, has already lost momentum. What the market sees, in practice, is a series of populist measures and little fiscal responsibility.
The exchange rate reflects this reality. The real, already weakened, remains highly vulnerable to any internal shocks — whether it's political noise or disappointing economic data.
📉 Why do I believe the dollar could reach R$ 6.63?
1️⃣ Fiscal Situation Weighs Heavily
Brazil is spending more than it collects, and public accounts remain under pressure. The market no longer believes that the government will achieve balance without significant spending cuts. Promises alone don’t pay the bills — and anyone involved in currency trading knows that.
2️⃣ The Dollar Remains Strong Abroad
In the U.S., the Federal Reserve continues its firm stance on fighting inflation. This strengthens the dollar globally, which in turn puts additional pressure on emerging market currencies — and the real is no exception.
3️⃣ Weak Economic Growth Without a Solid Foundation
Even with the growth Brazil has seen, it becomes irrelevant when viewed in the context of irresponsible fiscal management. Instead of being celebrated, this growth raises questions about its sustainability. The market knows that growth without structural adjustments is unsustainable — and Brazil hasn’t shown any commitment to addressing its weaknesses.
The increase in GDP ends up overshadowed by populist measures and a lack of spending cuts. Without fiscal balance, growth turns into a house of cards that collapses at the first sign of instability. For investors, the risk of holding positions in the real remains high, especially as necessary reforms continue to be postponed.
The Result?
The market remains cautious, pricing in uncertainty and distrust.
