The U.S. dollar maintained a steady course against the Brazilian real in early Thursday trading, following its sharpest drop since October 2022 the previous day. Investors are closely watching developments regarding U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, as well as important economic data from the world’s largest economy.
As of 9:03 AM, the dollar was down by 0.03%, trading at R$ 5.7541 on the spot market. On the B3 exchange, the first-month future dollar contract saw a slight increase of 0.28%, reaching R$ 5.786. Just yesterday, the U.S. currency dropped by a significant 2.72%, closing at R$ 5.7558—a decline of R$ 0.16 from Friday’s closing value.
In response to ongoing market fluctuations, Brazil’s Central Bank is set to hold an auction of up to 20,000 traditional foreign exchange swap contracts today, aimed at rolling over contracts due on April 1, 2025.
