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

O 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 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.

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