North American currency is quoted at R$5,298; Ibovespa, the main index of the Brazilian Stock Exchange, fell to 157,162.43 points
The dollar rose again this Thursday (13.Nov.2025). The North American currency advanced 0.10% and closed the session at R$5.298.
The main B3 (Stock Exchange) index, Ibovespa, fell 0.30%, to 157,162.43 points, after weeks of appreciation and successive records.
The slight rise in the dollar reflected specific adjustments in the foreign exchange market, after a sequence of recent falls influenced by the strong inflow of foreign capital. Some investors took advantage of the movement to make profits and rebuild long positions, especially in the face of an international scenario of greater caution.
In the stock market, the decline in the Ibovespa was driven by profit-taking in sectors that had led the recent rises, such as banks and commodities companies.
The drop was also influenced by a reduction in risk appetite abroad, amid the wait for new economic indicators from the United States and the release of corporate results for the 3rd quarter in Brazil.
The market remains attentive to investors’ reactions after the end of the “shutdown” — the largest shutdown in the history of the North American government. US President Donald Trump (Republican Party) signed into law on Wednesday night (Nov 12) the law that ended the strike, after approval by the Chamber of Deputies.
The agreement allows for the resumption of federal programs, the payment of public servants and the reactivation of the air traffic control system.
