Brazil's forex markets seen losing $400 mln Friday

Reuters, Friday, October 02, 1998 at 12:20

SAO PAULO, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Brazil was seen losing $400
million through its foreign exchange markets Friday, traders
said.
Just a day after Brazil registered its second-biggest net
dollar inflow in history of $2.786 billion, the nation's forex
markets were seen losing money again.
"The expectation is that flows revert to registering
deficits as in recent days," one trader said.
A big interest rate hike to almost 50 percent slowed dollar
flight to about $500 million a day at the end of September.
Before that, some $1.5 billion was fleeing Brazil every day,
draining reserves and putting pressure on the currency.
Including Thursday's net inflows, a net $28 billion has
left Brazil through forex markets since the beginning of
August.
