Both internal and external factors influenced the financial market. On the international scene, indicators that showed a better-than-expected performance of the Chinese economy contributed to the appreciation of commodities (primary goods with international prices), benefiting emerging economies such as Brazil.
In the domestic scenario, the wait for the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) meeting, next Wednesday (5), contributed to keeping the dollar exchange rate low. The expectation that the Central Bank (BC) maintains the Selic Rate at 15% per year stimulates the entry of foreign capital into Brazil.
With high interest rates in Brazil, investors take advantage of the difference in relation to basic rates in the United States to invest in the Brazilian market. Last week, the Federal Reserve (Fed, American Central Bank) reduced basic interest rates by 0.25 percentage points, to a range between 3.75% and 4% per year.
