The possibility that President-elect Donald Trump’s government will moderate the trade tariff hikes promised during the election campaign caused the dollar to fall across the planet, with the real registering one of the best global results. The stock market rose more than 1% and once again surpassed 120 thousand points.
The commercial dollar ended this Monday (6) sold at R$ 6.111, with a drop of R$ 0.07 (-1.14%). The price dropped to R$6.09 at the day’s low, around 10:30 am, reached R$6.14 at the end of the morning and stabilized at around R$6.11 towards the end of negotiations.
In the stock market, the day was also marked by optimism. The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed at 120,051 points, up 1.26%. On Friday (3), the indicator had closed at the lowest level since November 2023.
This Monday, the North American newspaper Washington Post published that Trump’s advisors are studying the softening of the tariff increase promised by the North American president-elect. According to the report, the tariff would only be applied to specific products, whose import levels by the United States would be at critical levels for the economy or national security.
Hours later, Trump denied the content of the report, but the denial did not discourage investors. According to his campaign promise, the president-elect’s government would apply indiscriminate increases in commercial tariffs.
