SAO PAULO (Reuters) – The dollar registered the biggest drop in a month this Wednesday, falling below 5.60 reais after a day that included a tougher Brazilian Central Bank assessment and confirmation of a cut in stimulus by the BC of the USA, but with no signs of an increase in interest rates there soon.
The real was the best performer among the major global currencies this session. The imbroglio in Brasília about the vote on the Precatório PEC continued on the radar, but shared attention with news of monetary policy here and abroad.
The dollar in cash closed down 1.45%, to 5.5891 reais, after varying from 5.701 reais (+0.53%) to 5.5776 reais (-1.65%).
The fall at closing is the most intense since October 1st (-1.47%).
Outside, the dollar fell 0.22% in the late afternoon against a basket with rivals from rich countries.
