When to use USDBRL

USD to BRL has historically been one of the more volatile major-EM pairs, reflecting Brazil's commodity exposure (especially soy, iron ore, oil) and political risk premium. The Banco Central do Brasil sets the SELIC policy rate, which has swung between roughly 2 % and 14 % over the past five years — driving sharp shifts in carry-trade flows. For Brazilian exporters and US-tied importers, this is the daily margin reference; for retail travel and remittance flows, spreads at Brazilian banks run 3–5 % over mid-market.

Frequently asked questions

What is 1 US Dollar in Brazilian Real?

What is 1 BRL in USD?
1 BRL = 0.193205 USD — the inverse of the rate above.
Where do these rates come from?
The European Central Bank publishes daily reference rates around 16:00 CET. Convertitive consumes them through the Frankfurter open data service and refreshes its cache every hour.
How often is the rate updated?
Up to once per hour, and only when the ECB itself has issued a new value. Over weekends and holidays the displayed rate stays at the previous business day's close.
Why isn't this the rate my bank quotes?
Mid-market rates are a benchmark; retail banks and card networks add a spread on every conversion to cover their costs and margin. Expect that spread to be 1–3 % on most card transactions and 0.4–0.8 % at large brokers.
Can I use this for accounting or invoicing?
Use it as a reference. For official accounting, most jurisdictions require a documented rate from a central bank or your tax authority (which often publish their own daily values).
What's a 'mid-market' rate?
The midpoint between the buying and selling prices that wholesale banks quote each other. It's the closest thing to a 'real' rate for an individual to compare against.
