On Monday, April 30, the dollar closed at R$5.2477, up 0.12 and reaching a historical record. The Ibovespa, the main index of the Brazilian stock exchange, rose 0.53%, reaching 182,514 points. Rising oil prices influenced expectations for inflation and interest rates in Brazil, while investors remained skeptical about a potential ceasefire in the month-long Middle East conflict. The Brent crude oil benchmark surpassed $115, and the U.S. benchmark WTI exceeded $104. Domestically, the Brazilian federal government is still trying to finalize an agreement with states regarding the diesel import subsidy proposal after last Friday’s meeting ended without consensus. The USDBRL market is currently neutral, with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 50.61 over the past 14 days. The volatility of the U.S. dollar against the Brazilian Real has been approximately 0.94 over the last month. The current USDBRL exchange rate is slightly above its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of R$5.22 but remains below the 200-day SMA of R$5.33. Currently, $1 equals about R$5.25, a 0.24 change from the previous day.

Monday’s Focus report shows the financial market revising its projection for Brazil’s official inflation this year. The IPCA estimate increased to 4.31, up from 4.17 the previous week, marking the third consecutive rise. This suggests the central bank may reduce interest rates at a slower pace in the coming months. (G1) The CoinCodex app is now available for iOS and Android devices, as well as a mobile version.
