Dollar has little variation at the opening, with an eye on US GDP – 01/26/2023 – Market

The dollar operated without a clear direction against the real in the first deals this Thursday (26), after three consecutive falls and as investors awaited the release of economic data from the United States, in particular the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which should help calibrate bets on the Federal Reserve’s next steps.

At 9:06 am (Brasília time), the spot dollar advanced 0.02%, to R$ 5.0818 in the sale.

This Wednesday (25), the Stock Exchange started the day in a fall, but reversed the trend and closed on a rise, while the dollar fell, reflecting a greater flow of foreigners taking advantage of stocks considered cheap and high interest rates in relation to the United States , where monetary tightening is expected to continue, but at a slower pace.

The Ibovespa closed up 1.10%, at 114,270 points, at the highest level of 2023. The commercial dollar closed down 1.22%, at R$5.079, at the lowest level since November 4, 2022.
