Ibovespa advances with optimism abroad and war on the radar; dollar falls

The Ibovespa advances this Tuesday (9), after renewing lows since January the day before, in a recovery driven by Itaú Unibanco and Vale, in a positive day for higher risk assets in global markets.

The war in the Middle East remains in focus, but this morning Brent oil shows losses.

At around 10:30 am, the Ibovespa rose 0.69%, to 169 thousand points.

At the same time, the dollar in cash fell 0.63%, to R$5.16 on sale.

After rising in the last three sessions, the dollar started the day lower against the real, following the negative signal for the American currency abroad.

On Monday (8), the American currency in cash closed with an increase of 0.50%, at R$ 5.1811, the highest price in more than two months.

At 11:30 am, the Central Bank holds an auction of 50,000 foreign exchange swap contracts to roll over the maturity date of July 1st.
