What one US dollar costs in Brazilian reais, so a falling number means a stronger real. It moves on soy, iron ore and oil exports, on Brazil's high interest rates, and on doubts about how much the government borrows.

Lately
The real was at its weakest as the campaign closed in disorder: the final debate was cancelled two days before the vote, and the deposit insurer's $7.7bn payout for Banco Master's collapse hung over the race. It strengthened once the first round was counted, with Flávio Bolsonaro beating Lula 47% to 45.1% and the presidency going to a runoff.
