Brazil real reaches six-year high
Continuing a trend of economic gains, the real, Brazil's currency, this week reached a six-year high of $2.036 to the U.S. dollar.
The currency value is getting close to 2-to-1 real-to-the-dollar, a symbolic and psychologically important point that is expected to occur soon, according to currency analysts.
Five years ago, the troubled real was at almost four-to-the-dollar. According to Bloomberg news and currency values, the real has gained 4.6 percent against the dollar this year.
