S&P 500 Hits New Record

The Brazilian real strengthened 0.30% to trade around 4.99 per USD, reaching its strongest level since early March. This appreciation is supported by a retreat in the US Dollar Index (DXY) toward 98.05, increasing appetite for emerging market assets. The currency continues to benefit from a high-interest-rate environment, with the Selic rate at 14.75% providing a significant real yield against an inflation rate of 4.14%. While price stability remains a priority, the attractive carry-trade appeal and a robust trade balance—highlighted by exports growing 10.0% year-on-year to $31.60 billion in March 2026—continue to provide solid support for the real's current performance.

Brazilian Real Hits 6-Week High

The Mexican peso strengthened to around 17.27 per U.S. dollar, its highest level since late February. The appreciation was driven by broad dollar weakness and increased risk appetite, supported by optimism over diplomatic progress between the US and Iran. Despite global uncertainty, Mexico continues to attract interest, underpinned by relatively high interest rates and robust manufacturing data. Monetary policy remains a key driver, with the benchmark rate at 6.75%, comfortably exceeding the 4.59% inflation rate. Meanwhile, February exports rose 15.8% to $56.85 billion, fueled by a surge in mining and manufactured goods. This resilience is further reinforced by auto exports climbing 4.2% year-over-year in March (310,205 units)
