Real vs Dollar and other currency issues

Just wait until you get to Brazil. Its forcast to hit 5 to 1 next year. And may ho higher.

Maybe on my next trip, I should bring Euros to exchange. The current rate is 4.73 to 1.

What do you think? Seems like a good idea. The dollar exchange is only 4.19. Euros seem better, but I'll wait to hear from the experts.

Does anybody have a good place to buy reals in the USA, to stash for later.

Rate today is 4. 12.

Wells fargo is offering 3. 6 per dollar. I have friends and family in Brasil, maybe better to wire funds to them.

Basically is there any good way to buy reals from a USA supplier, without getting crushed on the rate?

Cheers.

Obrigado.

Have you tried Citibank?

I looked at the exchange just now and it's at 4. 17 to 1 which is up by 30 centavos since I was there two weeks ago. It's going to be quite interesting to see how much it continues to climb and at what pace.

Lights were flashing, sirens wailing. The big day is here.

It's been fluctuating every day. The ATM's can't keep up. Today when it was at 3.98, the Citibank ATM in Copa was giving 3.90! It's usually off by 3 or 4 cents. Rat Bastards!!!

It tried to slick me like that as well by being off by nearly 10 cents. I took my card and kept stepping. Then the next day I went when the rate was 3,87 and it gave me 3,83.

I remember hearing about the days of 3 when it was hovering in the low 2's and teetering as low as 1,97 but I could have never imagined it getting back to 3, let alone a few seconds away from kissing 4.

If the Fed raise rates, the Real will be 4 to 1, If they do not raise rates look for the Brazil Real to hold a little strong until next year.

Still going in the right direction, 3.91 to the dollar now, lets hope it holds!

I wonder where it would be, IF the US Federal Reserve HAD raised rates. As it is, the Dollar is currently at 3.94 vs the Real, on xe.com. (I think it went as high as 3.96 today.) Next Federal Reserve meeting is on Oct 27-28. There is speculation they may raise rates then.

Yeah its at 3.93 right now. Almost 4 baby. I will be there in 2 months, I hope it reaches 4.20.

Hmmm. The Fed not raising the interest rate but leaving it at zero and the USD: BRL exchange rate still rises. Maybe there are some other factors involved. Like market manipulation. Or, could it be Satan?

[Rio Bob]

Tomorrow is the big fed meeting, If your planning on going to Brazil this year and next. Tomorrow is judgement day. If the Fed raise rates, the Real will be 4 to 1, Ii they do not raise rates look for the Brazil Real to hold a little strong until next year.
