On a day of truce in the international market, the dollar fell with the possibility of an agreement between the United States and China. The bag lifted a lot throughout the day, but was the first discharge after two followed falls.

Without economic news in Brazil, negotiations were dominated by the foreign market. US President Donald Trump announced that a new trade agreement with China has been possible in an interview aboard the presidential plane. A hit between the two countries could mean backwardness or flexibility of increasing commercial tariffs from the United States.
The statement brought more relief than another speaks of Trump, which said it wanted to institute a 25% rate about wood and forest products from April.
