The financial market had a day of relief the day after the meeting between presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Donald Trump. The dollar fell to its lowest level in almost three weeks, and the stock market renewed its all-time high.
The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed this Monday (27) at 147,969 points, an increase of 0.55%. The indicator, which accumulated a drop in October, now rises 0.5% in the month.
The foreign exchange market had a favorable day. The commercial dollar closed the day selling at R$5.37, with a decrease of R$0.224 (-0.42%). The price operated downward throughout the session. At the low of the day, around 10:15 am, it reached R$5.36.
The US currency is at its lowest value since October 8th. The currency rose 0.88% in October, but fell 13.11% in 2025.
Both internal and external factors brought relief to the market. On the international stage, the meeting between Lula and Trump reduced tensions over Brazil. Furthermore, the S&P 500 index (of the 500 largest American companies) also broke a record this Monday.
At the same time, the reopening of negotiations between the United States and China, announced on Sunday (26) by Trump, helped to raise the price of commodities (primary goods with international prices), favoring emerging countries. On Thursday (30), a meeting is scheduled between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
In the domestic scenario, the strong slowdown in the preview of official inflation in October had a positive impact on the stock market. This Monday, the Focus bulletin, a weekly survey of financial institutions published by the Central Bank (BC), reduced to 4.56% the forecast for official inflation in 2025.
