Brazil dlr outflows slow to net $76 mln on Tuesday

Reuters, Wednesday, November 04, 1998 at 07:57

SAO PAULO, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Capital flight from Brazil's
foreign exchange market slowed to a net $76 million on Tuesday
as traders predicted fewer Eurobonds and foreign loans would
come due in November, taking pressure off the market, traders
said.
Tuesday's net outflow, which was result of a net $90
million inflow in the commercial forex market and a net $166
million outflow from the floating market, compared with a net
outflow of $237 million from both markets on the previous
trading day.
Brazil's currency markets have suffered heavy dollar
outflows since Russia defaulted on its debt and devalued its
currency in mid-August.
Dollar outflows have drained the country's foreign currency
reserves to between $43 billion and $44 billion by last week
from $70 billion at the end of July.
Markets lost a huge amount of dollars as high interest
rates also prevented Brazilian players from rolling over their
foreign debt.
However, traders said the capital flight was slowing down
as about $800 million in foreign bonds and loans were seen
coming due this month compared to a total $3 billion in
October.
