Dollar Dips in Brazil amid ADP Report, PMI Data, and Central Bank’s Currency Flow Report
The dollar opened Wednesday’s trading session down 0.24, priced at R 5.2356. Brazil’s Ibovespa stock exchange index began trading at 10 AM. In the U.S., investors are closely watching the ADP report on private sector job growth, along with composite and services PMI indices, seeking insights into the pace of economic growth. SP Global is also set to release January service and composite PMI data for Brazil. The services index previously jumped from 50.1 in November to 53.7 on December 25, marking the fastest expansion in a year. Later today, the Central Bank will release its currency flow report, detailing dollar inflows and outflows in Brazil. According to G1, outbound flows exceeded incoming flows by US$638 million between January 19 and 23 (the week ending January 30), largely due to a negative commercial balance. The market will likely interpret these reports to gain a clearer picture of Brazil’s economic performance and currency trends.
