By RT Staff Reporters · March 19, 2024 · 2 min read

The Ibovespa index rose 0.45% to 127,528.85 points, reflecting New York’s calm yet anticipative market sentiment. It achieved a daily high of 128,000 points.

Concurrently, the dollar saw a minor increase of 0.07%, settling at R$5.02.

Interest rate futures opened optimistically but closed lower, signaling caution before significant monetary policy decisions.

Market participants are on edge, awaiting the Federal Reserve and Brazil’s Central Bank Committee’s (Copom) forthcoming interest rate verdicts.

With expectations set for the Fed to maintain rates and Copom to reduce rates to 10.75%, the focus sharpens on their forthcoming economic projections.
