Câmbio
The dollar closed the trading down 0.42%, quoted at R$ 5.5628. The movement was influenced by a correction after the strong appreciation of the Brazilian currency recorded the day before and by the repercussion of the tax measures announced by the government.
The Minister of Planning, Bruno Moretti, stated that the package presented to Congress could generate a fiscal impact of R$ 50 billion to R$ 60 billion in 2027. Among the proposals is the possibility of additional blockages in the budget, limiting the real growth of expenditure to 2%, below the ceiling of 2.5% foreseen in the fiscal framework.
The valuation of oil in the international market also contributed to the performance of the real. Overseas, however, the DXY index, which measures the performance of the dollar against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.67%, to 102,890 points.
