On a day of euphoria in the financial market, the Bolsa surpassed the mark of 191 thousand points and broke the 13th record of the year. THE dollar fell for the fourth time in a row and returned to its lowest value in 20 months.
The Ibovespa index, from B3, closed this Tuesday (24) at 191,490 points, an increase of 1.4%. Shares in all main sectors rose, benefiting from the inflow of foreign capital into Brazil.
In February, the Brazilian stock market rose 5.58%. In 2025, the gain reaches 18.85%.
The foreign exchange market also had a day of optimism. The commercial dollar closed at R$5.155, down R$0.013 (-0.26%). The price started the day close to stability, but plummeted at the end of the morning, when Donald Trump’s government announced the imposition of a 10% global tariff on imports from the United States.
The US currency is at its lowest value since May 28, 2024, when it was also at R$5.15. The currency accumulates a drop of 1.76% in February and 6.08% in 2026.
Both internal and external factors contributed to the favorable day in the financial market. Emerging countries benefited from foreign flows after the global tariff of 10% was lower than the 15% announced by the US government.
On the national scene, the record fundraising in January and the fall in the deficit in Brazil’s external accounts contributed to reducing future interest rates, which benefited the stock market.
