In a day of adjustment in the domestic market, the dollar was against the foreign market and fell to below R$ 5.20. The stock market fell for the second session in a row and lost 100,000 points.
The commercial dollar ended this Wednesday (29) sold at R$ 5.193, with a decrease of R$ 0.073 (-1.39%). The price operated lower throughout the session, but the fall intensified during the afternoon, with the currency closing at the low level of the day.
With today’s performance, the currency accumulates a high of 9.26% in June. In 2022, the dollar drops 6.87%. The real detached itself from international currencies. Today, the dollar rose against the main currencies of the planet.
In the stock market, the day was more bearish. The B3 Ibovespa index closed at 99,622 points, down 0.96%. The fall was driven by shares of oil companies, mining companies and large banks, which had risen in recent days.
Unlike the last few days, US stock exchanges did not have a defined trend, alternating highs and lows. The Dow Jones Industrial Companies Index rose 0.27%. The other indices were close to stability. The Nasdaq of technology companies fell 0.03%. The S&P 500, of the top 500 companies, fell 0.07%.
In relation to the dollar, month-end movements influenced the negotiations. After yesterday’s strong rally, when the currency reached the highest value since the beginning of February, investors decided to sell dollars to pocket the profits of the last few days.
