KCNY and Currency
The last two weeks were very volatile in NY “ICE”, due to weather forecasts that showed frost possibilities in some producing regions. The tendency is that the market will remain volatile, since we are in autumn, that is, winter has not yet begun in Brazil. Over the week, currencies from emerging countries showed gains against the dollar.

*Data as of the completion of this report
WEATHER
The polar air mass that reached the southeast region this week caused light frosts only in some towns in the South of Minas Gerais region. This is due to the fact that the polar air mass was gaining the characteristics of the tropical region and it has lost intensity when it reached the southeast region.
For the next few days, the polar air mass will remain in the southeast region, but with low intensity. The sun should predominate almost every day. There are no frosts forecasted and during the week the temperatures should rise in the afternoon and early morning.
A new cold front will arrive on the coast of São Paulo starting Thursday and could bring some light rain only in the region of Garça.
Rain forecast for next week:
Sul de Minas region: No rainfall forecast;
Zona da Mata region: No rainfall forecast;

LOGISTICS
The logistical scenario continues with little availability of allocation on ships leaving in the next 6 weeks, which is the maximum timeframe used by shipowners.
Many last minute changes in the ship schedules and some omissions affected the week’s shipments. We warn about the need to renew freight rates for the third trimester of the year.
