Brazil seen losing $1 bln in forex markts Thursday

Reuters, Thursday, January 14, 1999 at 15:41

SAO PAULO, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Brazil should see net dollar
outflows of about $1 billion through foreign exchange markets
on Thursday, traders said, as the nation's currency devaluation
continued to rattle markets.
The Central Bank implemented on Wednesday a new, wider
trading band and the currency quickly tumbled 8 percent against
the dollar.
For the past two days, the Central Bank has been forced to
sell dollars to keep the real within the new trading band set
at between 1.20 and 1.32 to the dollar.
As of 1810 local/2010 GMT at net $720 million had flowed
out of foreign exchange markets, traders said.
