Brazil is a primary exporter of commodities to China and the real tends to suffer following weak economic data. Equity markets also fell across the nation and the Brazilian currency fell 0.6% against the US dollar for the second consecutive day.
The real currency exchange rate is currently per 1.85USD and per 3.05GPB.
