On another day of fears about Donald Trump’s tariff policy, the dollar went up and was over $ 5.55 again, but fell the week. The stock exchange retreated, but accumulated positive variation in the week.
The commercial dollar ended this Friday (25) sold at R $ 5.561, with a rise of R $ 0.041 (+0.75%). The quotation operated close to stability in the morning, but fired in the afternoon in a global movement of dollar recovery. At the top of the day, around 12:40 pm, it reached R $ 5.57.
Despite the rise this Friday, the US currency fell 0.45% a week, registering the first weekly decline since the announcement of tariff of the Government Donald Trump over Brazil. The currency rises 2.34% in July, but drops 9.98% in 2025.
In the stock market, the day was also of pessimism. B3’s Ibovespa index closed at 133,524 points, with a drop of 0.21%. Despite Friday’s fall, the indicator rose 0.11% in the week, but accumulates a drop of 3.84% in the month.
The dollar has risen throughout the global market after a meeting on Sunday (27) between European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen, and US President Donald Trump. Von der Leyen stated that the chances of closing an agreement are around 50%, and Trump said there was some points of tension.
Regarding the stock exchange, in addition to the indefinition around the tariff, the stock market was affected by the disclosure that the preview of official inflation by the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA-15) was 0.33% in July, pressed by light accounts. The acceleration of the index has decreased the chances that the Central Bank begins to cut interest later this year, which encourages the investment escape from the fixed income stock exchange.
