BRAZIL: CIBC See USDBRL Spikes to 5.80 as Attractive to Re-Enter Shorts
BRAZIL
- CIBC believe that as USD/BRL moves closer to the year-to-date highs around 5.88, they see a high probability of central bank action, either intervening directly in the spot market or indirectly via FX swaps.
- Therefore, with the market already pricing in elevated fiscal risks, the BCB set to increase the magnitude of rate hikes (50bps exp. next week), and the BCB’s ability and willingness to intervene in the FX market, CIBC see the BRL’s carry as attractive enough to re-enter short USD/BRL positions on spikes at 5.80.
