Reduced concerns surrounding Venezuela and greater appetite for emerging economies boosted the financial market. THE dollar closed below R$5.40 for the first time since the beginning of December.
The stock market rose and reached its highest level in more than a month.
The commercial dollar ended this Tuesday (6) sold at R$ 5.379, with a decrease of R$ 0.026 (-0.48%). The price rose in the first minutes of trading, but fell after the opening of markets in the United States.
At the low of the day, around 12pm, it reached R$5.36.
This was the fourth consecutive fall in the US currency. At its lowest value since December 4th, the currency falls 3.5% in just the last four sessions.
In the stock market, the day was marked by euphoria. B3’s Ibovespa index closed at 163,664 points, up 1.11%. The indicator is at its highest level since December 4th, the day it reached an all-time high.
In relation to Venezuela, the currencies of emerging countries benefited from the reduction in tensions, after the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, sent a letter to Donald Trump in which she stated that she was ready for a “collaboration agenda”.
Furthermore, the real benefited from the realignment of positions typical at the beginning of each year.
In December, the Brazilian currency was pressured by political noise caused by the pre-candidacy of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) for the 2026 elections, and by companies sending remittances abroad, taking advantage of the final days of Income Tax exemption on dividends above R$50,000 per month.
