SÃO PAULO (Reuters) – The dollar rose against the real in the first trades this Friday, with investors waiting for an important job report from the United States that may offer clues about the path of monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve, while they monitor the news involving Brazil’s new fiscal framework.
The market also digests IPCA data released a little while ago by the IBGE, which showed an increase of 0.84% in the index in the monthly comparison.
At 9:02 am (Brasília time), the spot dollar advanced 0.30%, to 5.1558 reais on sale.
On the B3, at 9:02 am (Brasília time), the first contract dollar futures contract fell 0.2%, at 5.1800 reais.
The day before, the spot US currency closed the day quoted at 5.1404 reais, a positive variation of 0.03%.
The Central Bank will hold an auction of up to 16,000 traditional exchange rate swap contracts in this trading session for the purpose of rolling over the maturity of April 3, 2023.
