The commercial dollar ended this Monday (2) sold at R$ 6.069, an increase of R$ 0.068 (+1.13%). The price remained high all day. At the high of the day, around 1 pm, it reached R$6.09.
In the stock market, the day was marked by volatility. The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed at 125,235 points, a drop of 0.34%. The indicator rose 0.13% around 2:50 pm, but became negative again in the final hours of trading.
The lack of definition regarding tax package and the increase in the Income Tax exemption range interfered in the negotiations. Of the measures announced last Thursday (28), the government has so far not sent the proposed amendment to the Constitution that limits the value of the salary bonus nor the bills that reformulate military pensions and that intend to change the collection of taxes of Income.
The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, spent the afternoon at Palácio do Planalto finalizing the final text of the proposals.
