On Monday, the dollar closed down 1.52 at R$5.1643. Brazil’s Ibovespa stock index, however, rose 0.86 to close at 180,915 points, driven by both Petrobras’s strong performance and positive trends in U.S. markets. Earlier, oil prices had surged following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, as Middle Eastern producers like Kuwait, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates reduced output. The price of a barrel exceeded $110, with more liquid futures above $100. However, prices stabilized in the afternoon after reports that the U.S. government was considering easing sanctions on Russian oil, causing Brent crude to fall 0.71. Brazilian oil and gas stocks responded positively, helping to push Ibovespa higher, with Petrobras shares rising 2.37%. Technical analysis of the USDBRL exchange rate showed the following: A close at R$5.1641 after a bearish reversal. Senkou Span A and B converging around R$5.2301. Kijunsen at R$5.1983 and Tenkansen at R$5.1959. The 200-day SMA at R$5.3941. A bearish MACD showing signs of convergence. An RSI of 42.99 on the primary and 41.36 on the secondary. Bollinger Bands defining the range, with the upper band at R$5.3512, middle band at R$5.2691, and lower band at R$5.1097.

(Support and resistance levels were listed in a table, which is omitted here.) Additional economic data included: A daily high of R$5.2864 for USDBRL. A 13-basis-point increase in the Selic Focus YE 2026. A 13.53 drop in the VIX. A Friday value of R$5.2808 for the dollar, representing a 0.11 decrease. Other market activity on Friday saw iron ore prices dip slightly to $105.85 (62 Fe), while gold increased by 1.7 to $5,338, and Bitcoin soared by 4.71 to close at $68,845. Unexpectedly, new U.S. employment data revealed 92,000 fewer job vacancies in February. The S\&P 500, however, gained 0.83. Year-to-date, the USDBRL has decreased by 5.9.

Geopolitical factors also influenced the market. The U.S. government announced a more aggressive stance against Iran, including strengthened military capabilities and strikes on their missile program. This led to an 8.5 jump in Brent crude oil prices, reaching $92 per barrel, due to potential disruptions in Middle Eastern oil supplies. President Donald Trump commented that the war in Iran was “practically over” because the country lacked naval, communication, and air force capabilities, further stating that the U.S. was ahead of schedule and that he had a potential successor in mind for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Meanwhile, in Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was selected by an assembly of experts as the likely successor to his father, suggesting a continuation of the current regime. Separately, Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Master Bank, was jailed at Potim 2 Prison, accused of using The Crew to intimidate and spy on opponents.

Strengthening Brazilian and Canadian Economies Amidst Global Economic Shifts and Russian Improvement

According to a G1 report, the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the dollar contributed to a larger-than-expected Brazilian GDP when converted to U.S. dollars. The average exchange rate was R$5.58, compared to a forecast of R$5.61, resulting in a $24 billion increase in the apparent size of Brazil’s economy, partially offsetting a drop in international rankings. Canada’s economy also exceeded expectations, growing by 1.7 compared to a predicted 1.2. Despite these positive results for Brazil and Canada, Russia’s economic performance allowed it to improve its ranking. These shifts reflect a complex interplay of currency valuations, growth rates, and overall economic performance.

In conclusion, Monday’s market activity was shaped by a combination of fluctuating oil prices, technical indicators, and broader economic and geopolitical developments.
