USDBRL Hovers Above 5.43 Support

BRAZIL
  • Brazil's retail sales slumped more than expected in September as the central bank aggressively tightens policy and annual inflation runs at a multi-year highs.
  • Despite the broad dollar strength, BRL has been faring better in recent sessions and is now below previous horizontal support around 5.48.
  • Next support is 5.4342, Oct 15 low, that also capped BRL strength during yesterday's session. A break would open the base of a bull channel at 5.3489. The channel is drawn off the Jun 25 low and represents a key support parameter in an underlying bull trend for the pair.
  • Treasury will offer fixed rate bonds maturing in 2022, 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2031; the absence of U.S. bond market due to Veterans day could affect liquidity locally.
