Brazilian reals per US dollar. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of soybeans, sugar, coffee, and a top-3 exporter of iron ore and beef — making the real a barometer of global commodity demand and EM risk appetite. Brazilian political cycles have outsized currency impact: elections and fiscal policy shifts routinely cause 20-30% moves. The real's history since 1994 captures every EM boom-bust cycle in one chart.
