The dissemination of weak data in the United States (USA) made the dollar start the month in a strong fall. The stock exchange, however, continued in negative territory and fell to 132,000 points, affected by scholarships in other countries. 
The commercial dollar ended Friday (1st) sold at R $ 5.545, with a retreat of R $ 0.056 (-1.01%). The price reached R $ 5.62 in the first minutes of negotiation, reflecting the announcement of tariffs to several countries by the government of Donald Trump, but plummeted after the announcement of employment statistics in the United States.
At the low of the day, around 10:30 am, the dollar reached R $ 5.53. The border drops 10.27% in 2025.
Unlike the exchange rate, the stock market had a day of turmoil. B3’s Ibovespa index closed at 132,437 points, with a decrease of 0.48%. The indicator was influenced by both factors linked to the trade war with the United States and the performance of the scholarships across the planet.
Regarding the US labor market, the creation of 73,000 formal vacancies in the country in July and the increase in the unemployment rate to 4.2% increased the chances of the Federal Reserve (Fed, Central Bank) cutting interest on the world’s largest economy from September. Lower interest in advanced economies stimulate the escape of financial resources in emerging countries.
The resignation of a Fed Director and the resignation of the US Labor Statistics Department has accelerated the drop in the dollar. This is because vacant positions are occupied by Trump’s allies, increasing the pressures to fall in US basic interest.
In the Stock Exchange, the possibility that the Trump government sanction financial institutions in which the Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes has bank accounts, reported by the newspaper The globedid the actions of Banco do Brasil plummeted. The ordinary papers (with the right to vote in the shareholder assembly) of the institution retreated 6.85% on Friday.
