On a day of good external mood, the dollar fell for the second time in a row and accumulates a drop of more than 1% in 2025. The stock market rose almost 1% and recovered 121 thousand points.
The commercial dollar closed this Tuesday (7) sold at R$ 6.104, with a decrease of R$ 0.007 (-0.12%). The price fell sharply throughout most of the day, reaching R$6.05 at around 1pm. In the afternoon, it returned to stability, until closing at a small low.
The price reached its lowest closing value since December 21st. The US currency accumulates a drop of 1.23% in 2025.
The stock market had another day of recovery. The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed at 121,163 points, up 0.95%. The indicator rose 1.41% at 12:30 pm, but slowed down during the afternoon, following the international market.
In the morning, the dollar continued to fall on expectations that President-elect Donald Trump’s government may moderate tariffs on products from other countries, a measure promised during the election campaign. However, the bad mood returned to the foreign market in the afternoon, after Trump gave an interview in which he reaffirmed his intentions to annex Greenland and the Panama Canal.
In the domestic market, investors took advantage of the sharp drop in the dollar in the morning to buy US currency in the afternoon. This contributed to the currency returning to stability towards the end of the session.
