MONTHLY AVERAGE EXCHANGE RATE

Quarterly Exchange Rate Average
1 US$ to Reais

Quarterly Exchange Rate Average
1 CAD to Reais

The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Real until the third quarter of 2023 is generally stable at levels lower than those practiced in 2022. When analyzing the performance of this indicator in the third quarter of this year, we see a slight appreciation of the US dollar against the Brazilian currency. The average rate for the month of July was BRL 4.80 per dollar, which is the lowest level in 2023. In the analysis of the exchange rate from Canadian dollars (CAD) to the Real, the values are maintained throughout 2023, and in the comparison between the first three quarters of 2022 and 2023, the current year presented in all months lower conversion rates from Canadian dollars to Real, averaging R$ 3.72/CAD.

Share of Brazil-Canada trade x all countries

When comparing Canada’s share of purchases of Brazilian products with the rest of the world, it is seen that in the 3rd quarter of 2023 Canada contributed with 1.64% of the total result, a level slightly higher than that presented in the same period in 2022. Conversely, among all Brazilian imports in the quarter, the share of those coming from Canada fell from 2.1% to 1.5%.

3rd quarter of 2023

CLASSIFICATION OF CANADIAN-BRAZILIAN TRADED PRODUCTS

Classification of Canadian Exports to Brazil (% of value US$)

Classification of Canadian Imports from Brazil  (% of value US$)

An increase in the sale of Brazilian manufactured products to Canada is noticed, from 45.1% in 2022 to 48.5% in 2023, being the most sold product category to Canadians. This increase is mainly due to increased exports of airplanes and other aerial vehicles, weighing more than 15,000 kg, and a rise in the export of heavy machinery, such as graders. The result also comes from a drop in the sale of semi-manufactured items, such as niobium, falling from 45.8% to 43.1%. The share of basic products in Brazilian exports to Canada fell slightly, from 9.1% to 8.5%.

As for imports of products from Canada to Brazil, the purchase of semi-manufactured products continues to be the most representative, even with the drop from 76.8% to 62% compared to the same period in 2022. On the other hand, Brazil has been importing more manufactured items in 2023, having increased its share from 20.3% to 33% this year, caused by the greater purchase of items from the aeronautical sector, the plastics industry, and the pharmaceutical industry.

CATEGORY ANALYSIS AND HIGHLIGHTS – 

Canadian Imports from Brazil

Of the ten main chapters in the ranking of Canadian Imports from Brazil, the ones that stand out the most are products related to mining, such as minerals, precious or base metals (and articles thereof), with an important emphasis on manufactured products such as aircraft and various machinery. In addition, sugar and meat exports showed a relevant result at the end of September 2023.

Chapter 71 – “Natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal and articles thereof; imitation jewellery; coin” remains 1st in the ranking of exports, with 29% of the total exported to Canada, and a decrease of 3% compared to the same period in 2022. The total of more than $1.18 billion is mainly due to three products, as follows.

Main products in the chapter, by NCM

  • 1st in the overall ranking: ” Gold bullion, for non monetary uses” – total of US$ 1.08 billion exported until the quarter, represents 92% of the chapter and 26% of all that was exported to Canada in the period (+6% compared to the same period in 2022)
  • 6th in the overall ranking: ” Gold, bars, yarn, profiles of solid cross-sec.gold bullion” – US$ 90.3 million exported, represents 8% of the chapter and 2% of the total exported to Canada in the period (-48%)
  • 69th in the overall ranking: ” Other waste/scrap of other precious metal, etc.” – more than US$ 2.9 million exported until the quarter, a result 0.5% lower than in 2022.

The most common use of gold is for jewelry (rings, necklaces, watches, etc.), which accounts for nearly half of global demand. The remainder of the demand comprises investment use, as a hedge against the risks of inflation and market volatility, for gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and, to a lesser extent, for technology applications, primarily as a component of microcircuits in a variety of electronic products. The recent scenario of global uncertainty, however, has led many people to seek the monetary safety of gold, stimulating the industries of extraction and transformation of raw gold into gold bars.

The trajectory of the gold price in 2023 showed growth and now returns to the level similar to that of the beginning of the year. The gram of gold started the year at $58.7 and reached the end of Q3 at $59.4.

It can also be seen that the Brazilian participation in this chain is focused on the export of raw gold, to be refined/industrialized outside the country. Mining is extremely relevant to the Canadian economy, and the country’s largest mining companies operate in Brazil. In this context, there is great emphasis on the chapters that comprise products of this industry in the international trade between the two countries, as highlighted below.

Chapter 28 – “Inorganic Chemicals; inorganic or organic compounds…” it also continues to occupy the 2nd place in the ranking, with 23% of all that was exported to Canada in the period. There was a 22% decrease compared to the same period in 2022, reaching more than $942 million. The total value of the chapter is mainly due to calcined alumina, as follows.

Main products in the chapter, by NCM:

  • 2nd overall: Calcined alumina – total of US$ 901.5 million, representing 96% of the chapter and 22% of all exports to Canada at the end of the quarter (-22% compared to the same period in 2022)
  • 19th overall: Other Silicons – total of $20.9 million (-27%)
  • 23rd overall: Divanadium Pentoxide – $18 million total (+14%)

Brazil and Canada are major global players in aluminum production. Alumina is the process of refining raw bauxite, which is then turned into aluminum. Calcined alumina, or aluminum oxide, is used in industrial segments for the manufacture of ceramic fibers, refractories, automotive parts, abrasives for polishing and polishing lenses.

Chapter 88 – ” Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof” continues to consolidate its recovery after the pandemic period, occupying the 3rd place in the ranking, reaching US$ 466.1 million at the end of September, which is 11.2% of all that Canada bought from Brazil. This value is practically conditional on two products, as follows.

  • 3rd in the overall ranking: ” Oth.airplanes/aircraft,weight>15000kg,empty” – totaled US$ 456.8 million, represents 98% of the chapter and 11% of all that was exported to Canada at the end of September, with significant growth compared to the same period in 2022, since no exports of this product were recorded that year.
  • 34th overall: Other parts of aeroplanes or helicopters – total of $8.1 million, and 2% of the chapter’s result.

Traditional industry in Brazil and Canada, countries where companies such as Embraer and Bombardier are located, respectively, aeronautical production has resumed commercial results from the pre-Covid-19 pandemic level. After the moment that greatly restricted the available trips and the aircraft production line, in 2023 the levels of trade of these products between the countries resumed, both in the flow from Brazil to Canada, and the reverse.

CATEGORY ANALYSIS AND HIGHLIGHTS

Canadian Exports to Brazil

In the case of Canadian Exports to Brazil, of the ten main chapters in the ranking, the ones that stand out the most are those that comprise products from the chemical industries such as the production of fertilizers and pharmaceutical items. It was also seen with an important resumption of imports of aircraft, optical instruments, and industrial and agricultural machinery. Always present on the agenda between Brazil and Canada, imports of plastics and mining derivatives were also highlighted in 2023. The main highlights are presented below.

Chapter 31 – “Fertilizers” remains in 1st place in Brazilian imports from Canada, totaling USD 1.63 billion (-50% compared to the same period in 2022) and representing 61% of all that was imported from Canada by Brazil at the end of September. The total imported is mainly due to a single product, with a few more highlights, as shown below.

Main products in the chapter, by NCM

  • 1st in the overall ranking: ” Potassium chloride – Other” – in addition to being the main category in the chapter, it led the overall ranking of imports with more than USD 1.55 billion (-50% compared to the end of the third quarter of 2022), and represented 95% of the entire chapter and 58% of all that was imported from Canada at the end of September 2023
  • 2nd in the overall ranking: ” Potassium chloride, with a potassium oxide (K2O) content not exceeding 60% by weight” – totaled US$ 77.2 million (-54%), which represents 5% of the chapter and 3% of the total imported from Canada
  • 63rd in the overall ranking: ” Animal or vegetable fertilizers, whether or not mixed together or chemically treated; …” – totaled US$ 3.4 million (+83%), and 0.1% of the total imported from Canada

 

Potassium chlorides are widely used as chemical fertilizers in agriculture, a very relevant activity for the Brazilian economy, which was considered essential to food production, and encouraged in times of Covid-19. Canada is one of the world’s leading fertilizer suppliers, with global giants such as Nutrien. We also cannot fail to mention that the conflict in Eastern Europe since 2022 affects this market, as the demand for fertilizers from countries other than Russia has become high. The current drop results reflect the atypical increase that occurred last year.

On a visit to Canada in March 2022, the then Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, Tereza Cristina Dias, spoke with local suppliers of potash-based fertilizer in search of alternative suppliers to the Russians. The trade results in 2022, demonstrated in the past editions of CCBC’s QTF, already show that Canadian fertilizers were widely imported by Brazil that year after the Brazilian government representation, and continue to consolidate in 2023.
