After Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's reelection, the dollar rose 8.79% against the real to 5.4154 reais, and agricultural prices fell. Sugar dropped 5.63%, arabica coffee 2.11% and soy 1.26%, while corn slipped just 0.22%. A weaker real lets Brazilian exporters receive more reais per dollar, which can encourage forward sales and pressure international prices. Brazil accounts for 61.5% of world soy exports and 53.9% of sugar exports.
