Brazil historically high policy rates make the real a major carry trade currency, and its swings materially affect dollar-based returns on Brazilian assets and inflation dynamics inside Brazil.

How to read it

Interpret moves jointly with commodity indexes and Brazilian policy rate decisions, since carry and terms of trade drive most sustained trends.
