Brazilian Stock Market Reaches New Peak, Dollar Stabilizes
The Ibovespa, the primary index of São Paulo’s B3 Stock Exchange, ended the week at a high of 124,773 points.
This marked a 0.11% increase on Friday, November 17, 2023, setting a record for 2023. Over the week, the index rose by 3.49%.
The Dow Jones closed the week in the United States with a 1.94% gain. The S&P 500 also experienced growth, increasing by 2.24% during the same period.
Concurrently, the commercial dollar in Brazil settled at R$ 4.91. It recorded a slight rise of 0.73% on Friday, but overall, it saw a 0.18% decrease for the week.
These market movements followed the release of the U.S. inflation data. U.S. inflation showed no change in October, contrary to the expected 0.1% increase.
This stagnation hints at a potential end to the U.S.’s period of monetary tightening.
The Brazilian economy’s five-year Credit Default Swap (CDS) risk measure stood at 157 points on Friday.
