In another day of euphoria in the financial market, the stock market once again broke a record and approached the mark of 148 thousand points. The dollar fell for the second time in a row and reached its lowest value since the beginning of the month.
The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed this Tuesday (28) at 147,429 points, an increase of 0.31%. Although it momentarily surpassed the 147 thousand points mark in the last two trading sessions, this was the first time that the Ibovespa closed the day above that level.
The exchange rate once again had a day of relief. The commercial dollar closed the day selling at R$5.36, with a decrease of R$0.01 (-0.19%). The price rose during the morning, reaching R$5.39 in the first minutes of trading, but reversed the movement and began to fall during the afternoon. At the low of the day, around 3:20 pm, it reached R$5.35.
The US currency is at its lowest value since October 8th. The currency rises 0.69% in October, but falls 13.25% in 2025.
The expectation of a new interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed, American Central Bank) at this Wednesday’s meeting (29) encouraged investors. Furthermore, the confirmation of the meeting between the presidents of the United States, Donald Trump, and China, Xi Jinping, scheduled for Thursday (30) in South Korea, helped to reduce trade tensions between the two largest economies on the planet.
