RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The commercial dollar closed this Wednesday, November 13th, sold at R$4.187, with a high of R$0.02 (0.48 percent).

The currency reached its second-highest value since the creation of the Brazilian real, second only to the rate of R$4,196 recorded on September 13th, 2018.

The dollar traded high throughout the session, but settled above R$4.18 from early afternoon, until closing near its peak of the day. The currency has accumulated an appreciation of 4.43 percent in the month.

Stock Market

In the stock market, the day was also one of tension. The B3 (former São Paulo Stock Exchange) IBOVESPA index closed the day down 0.71 percent to 105,993 points.

On the second consecutive day of decline, the indicator fell to its lowest level since October 18th.

In recent days, the financial market has been affected by turbulence in Latin American countries. Several countries in the region face political issues that are putting pressure on foreign investors.
