By Asher Levine SAO PAULO, June 10 (Reuters) - Latin American currencies extended gains against the dollar into a third session on Wednesday as commodities prices advanced, while local stock markets followed suit. Yields on Brazilian interest rate futures rose across the curve on investor bets that the central bank will respond with additional interest rate hikes. The real is up nearly 3 percent over the last two weeks after investors pulled back from a recent dollar rally supported by the outlook for higher U.S. interest rates. "My fear is that there will be a very sharp reversal the next time we see positive (economic) data from the U.S.," said Pedro Tuesta, an economist with 4Cast in Washington, D.C. In equities markets, Brazil's Bovespa stock index erased the previous three sessions' losses, led by an over 4 percent gain in preferred shares of iron-ore producer Vale SA . Iron-ore prices rose on Wednesday as stocks of the steelmaking commodity at China's ports dropped for the eighth consecutive week, data showed. Vale's chief executive said on Wednesday that he expected Chinese production of higher grade iron ore to fall below 200 million tonnes this year. China is the top export destination for Vale's iron ore.
