After a day of fluctuations, the stock market once again broke a record and reached the unprecedented mark of 154 thousand points. The dollar fell for the third time in a row and closed at its lowest value in a month.
The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed this Friday (7) at 154,063 points, an increase of 0.47%. The indicator fell 0.6% at 11:32 am, but reacted during the afternoon, supported by Petrobras shares, the most traded.
This was the 13th consecutive rise in Ibovespa and the 10th consecutive record for the Brazilian stock market. The Ibovespa accumulates gains of 3.02% in the week and 28.08% in 2025. The current sequence of increases is only behind the 15 consecutive appreciations registered in May and June 1994, shortly before the Real Plan.
In relation to Petrobras, investors reacted well to the release of the profit of R$32.7 billion in the third quarter and the announcement of distribution of R$12.16 billion in dividends.
The state-owned company’s common shares, with voting rights at shareholders’ meetings, rose 4.83% this Friday. Preferred papers (with preference in the distribution of dividends) rose 3.77%.
Exchange
The foreign exchange market also had a day of relief. The commercial dollar closed the day selling at R$5.336, with a drop of R$0.012 (0.22%). The price rose to R$5.36 around 10 am, but fell in the following hours, until closing close to the session’s low.
At its lowest value since October 6, the US currency fell 0.83% in the week. The currency accumulates a drop of 0.82% in November and 13.66% in 2025.
Without major external news, the exchange rate followed the international movement, with the dollar falling against the main currencies.
