''Brazil fights currency war as rand puts brake on oil''

From iol

"Brazil has put currency wars back on the global agenda. In 2010, the country’s Finance Minister Guido Mantega complained that unwanted foreign inflows were driving up the Brazilian real and he introduced measures to moderate the currency’s strength.

The emerging Latin American giant is once again trying to weaken its currency. The real has appreciated about 6 percent this year, according to Bloomberg."
