Brazil: exchange begins the week with a dollar below R$5

The Ibovespa, the main index of the Stock Exchange of Brazil (B3), began the week at a discrete high of 0.12%, at 112,000 points.

On Monday, 5, there were highs and lows throughout the session.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) results above expectations still reverberate among investors.

Experts talk about possible revisions in inflation, which can directly impact the basic interest rate, the Selic.

The revision of the data released by the Central Bank (BC) also contributed to the increase in investors’ optimism.

EXTERNAL PERFORMANCE ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE

The oil price gave a jump in the international market, driven by the announcement of Saudi Arabia, which decided to cut by more than 1 million barrels of input.

The measure will come into effect as of July.

Another concern that guided the economic agenda came from the possibility of the Federal Reserve (Fed), the United States central bank, raising interest rates again.

After the release of negative economic data and a still high inflation rate, the possibility of the Fed raising the interest rate, currently at 5%, to 5.25% came into the picture.

The main market indexes:

• Ibovespa: 112,696.32 (+0.12%)
• S&P 500: 4.274,20 (-0,19%)
• Nasdaq: 13,229.43 (-0.09%)
