Against the grain of uncertainty abroad, the Brazilian financial market had a calm day. After two falls, the stock market rose again and almost broke a record. The dollar closed stable, but registered a fall during the week.
The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed this Friday (14) at 157,739 points, an increase of 0.37%. At around 2:45 pm, at the day’s high, the indicator reached 158.3 thousand points, but slowed down in the final hours of trading, influenced by uncertainties in the United States.
The Brazilian stock market is at the second highest level in history, only losing to Tuesday (12) by a difference of just 10 points. With an increase of 2.39% in the week, the Ibovespa accumulated an increase of 5.49% in November.
The commercial dollar closed the week selling at R$5.297, with a drop of just 0.02%. Despite the stable closing, the price had a day of fluctuations. In the first minutes of trading, it reached R$5.31, fell to R$5.27 around 1 pm and reduced the fall during the afternoon, with pressure from the international market.
The US currency fell 0.7% in the week. The currency accumulates a drop of 1.54% in November and 14.26% in 2025.
The Brazilian financial market started the day influenced by the uncertainties surrounding the shutdown (government shutdown) in the United States. Shares of technology companies stopped falling, but the possibility that inflation and employment data in the largest economy on the planet will never be released has thrown American stock markets into turmoil.
Brazil partially benefited amid information that the Donald Trump administration would suspend part of the trade tariffs on coffee, meat, fruit and other agricultural products. The expectation that food exports will rise helped to contain pressure from the rise in the dollar and the fall in the stock market.
