Brazil currency flow turns positive in early October, 2026 balance improves

Brazil's central bank reported a positive currency flow of US$ 3.2 billion in the first nine days of October, contributing to a 2026 year-to-date surplus of US$ 13.9 billion, versus a deficit of US$ 17.3 billion in the same period of 2025. This marks a significant reversal from the prior year's outflow trend, suggesting improved external accounts and potentially easing pressure on the BRL. The data is preliminary and subject to revision.
