BRL to USD 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent real → dollar forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Brazilian real to US dollar performance and trends.

 

The current market bias for the BRL to USD exchange rate is range-bound.

Key drivers include:

  • The Central Bank of Brazil's cautious hold on the Selic rate at 15% and anticipated cuts in 2026 could weigh on the BRL.
  • The Federal Reserve is expected to make three rate cuts by mid-2026, likely leading to a weaker USD.
  • Ongoing concerns about Brazil's fiscal challenges and rising public debt could affect investor confidence in the BRL.

Over the next 1–3 months, the BRL/USD is expected to trade within a stable range, reflective of the recent trading pattern.

Factors that could alter this outlook include an unexpected increase in U.S. interest rates, which would strengthen the USD, and a sharp rise in commodity prices that benefits the BRL.
