On a day of adjustments and a partial holiday in the United States, the dollar fell sharply and closed at its lowest level in almost a month. The Stock Exchange (B3) lost strength towards the end of negotiations and remained practically stable, below 120 thousand points.
The commercial dollar ended this Thursday (9) sold at R$ 6.041, with a drop of R$ 0.068 (-1.11%). The price started the day with a slight increase, influenced by the increase in the dollar abroad, but started to fall after the closing of the North American market, which operated at reduced hours due to the funeral of former president Jimmy Carter.
The price is at its lowest value since December 13th, when it was R$6.03. With today’s performance, the US currency accumulates a drop of 2.25% in 2025.

In the stock market, the day was marked by volatility. On a day of little business, the Ibovespa index, from B3, closed at 119,781 points, an increase of 0.13%. The indicator rose 0.44% at 2:11 pm, but slowed down in the final hours of the session.
With the North American market closing early, investors turned to domestic factors. Without relevant news for the economy in the domestic scenario, adjustment of positions prevailed with investors selling dollars to pocket recent profits. The appreciation of iron ore and oil on the international market and high interest rates in Brazil helped attract foreign capital to the country.
