On the preceding Monday, stock strategist Fábio Perina provided insights crucial for investors, highlighting a support level at 124,800 points on the stock index.
He cautioned that dropping below this threshold could lead to further declines, with the next support levels at 120,000 and 111,600 points.
The stock market had recently experienced a downturn, closing down by 0.43% at 125,405 points.
Concurrently, the U.S. dollar saw an uptick against the Brazilian real, ending the day at R$5.1847.
Meanwhile, the U.S. stock market felt the ripple effects of geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel, contributing to a decline in major indexes.
The New York stock exchanges ended the day down, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreasing by 0.65% to 37,735.11 points.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also fell, dropping 1.20% to 5,061.82 points and 1.79% to 15,885.02 points, respectively.
Concerns over escalating oil prices from the conflict influenced market sentiment, possibly prompting a more restrictive monetary policy from the Federal Reserve amid rising Treasury yields.
