After the opening of the trading session, the euro is trading at the opening at 5.68 Brazilian reals, which implied a rise of 2.68% compared to 5.53 Brazilian reals the previous day.
Compared to the last seven days, the euro recorded an increase of 2.42%; despite this in the last year it still has a decrease of 11.59%. With regard to past days, it turns the tables on the previous day, in which a decrease of 0.18% was recorded, recently showing a lack of stability in the results. The volatility of the last seven days is 16.7%, which is higher than the annual volatility figure (14.41%), so the value changes more than the general trend.
In the annual photo, the euro has even changed by a high of 6.45 Brazilian reals, while its lowest level has been 5.50 Brazilian reals. The euro is closer to its minimum value than to the maximum.
Crisis for the Brazilian real
The real, or the Brazilian real as it is known internationally, is the legal tender in Brazil and is the twentieth most used currency in the world and the second in Latin America only behind the Mexican peso.
Inforce since 1994, the real replaced the “cruzeiro real” and its abbreviation is BRL; it is also the fourth most traded currency in the American continent only behind the US dollar, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso.
One of the moments that most marked the Brazilian currency was when in 1998 the real suffered a strong speculative attack that caused its devaluation the following year, going from a value of 1.21 to 2 reais per dollar.
Today there are 1 and 5 cents copper coins, 10 and 25 cents bronze coins and 50 cents cupronickel coins. The coin of a real is bimetallic. It should be noted that in 2005 the pennies were discontinued, but it is still legal tender.
On the economic front, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut Brazil's growth by 1.7 percentage points for 2022, especially due to the deterioration of global conditions between high inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic.
It should be noted that the Brazilian economy, the largest in the Latin American region, entered a recession in the second quarter of 2021 and is forecast to stagnate throughout 2022.
Due to COVID-19, Brazil was forced to disburse more money as stimulus measures (about 12% of GDP) in order to cope with the pandemic, which ultimately resulted in a budget deficit for 2022.
