The dollar interrupted its three-day downward trajectory this Wednesday, closely following the upward movement of the American currency abroad. The data on durable goods orders in the US in March (+2.6% at the margin) came in above expectations (+2.0%) and ended up canceling out the market’s optimism yesterday, caused by the weaker PMI.
Faced with ambiguous data, investors reversed bets on the Fed’s next steps, putting the possibility of just one interest rate cut this year on the radar again. In any case, movement in both the exchange rate and Treasuries interest rates was limited, with the market waiting for the two main data this week: the 1Q24 GDP, tomorrow, and the March PCE, on Friday.
In the domestic scenario, attention was focused on Brasília, waiting for the Congress session that will analyze the vetoes to the Budget and the delivery of the first tax reform regulatory project.
The spot dollar closed up 0.35%, at R$5.1482, after fluctuating between R$5.1252 and R$5.1718. At 5:02 pm, the future dollar for May rose 0.20%, to R$5.1485.
Abroad, the DXY index rose 0.13%, to 105,814 points. The euro fell 0.02% to US$1.0700. The pound rose 0.11% to $1.2463. And the Japanese currency registered its biggest devaluation in 30 years, with the dollar worth 155.323 yen (+0.34%).
