Brazil: budget deal in the US causes the dollar to soar

The Ibovespa, the main index of the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3), ended the week’s first session down 0.52%, at 110,000 points.

On the other hand, the dollar recovered its breath and improved its performance, rising 0.48%, quoted at R$5.01.

The main market indexes were not traded because of Memorial Day in the United States.

The budget agreement signed on Sunday, 28, between President Joe Biden and the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, contributed to the performance of the US currency.

The agreement deals with the country’s public debt.

If Congress approves it, the US$31.4 trillion ceiling will be suspended until January 1, 2025.

There are expectations about the next steps of the Federal Reserve (Fed), the Central Bank of the United States.

On Friday, the 2nd, the financial institution will release the employment report from the US Labor Department.

BEYOND THE DOLLAR

In the Brazilian market, investors remain attentive to the passage of the fiscal framework in the Senate.

The financial market agents still do not rule out the overthrow of the text.

Despite the slowdown in inflation and the improvement in the expectation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the latest statements of the president of the Central Bank, Roberto Campos Neto, do not allow the projections of a drop in the Selic rate to be clear.
