At 9:15 am (Brasilia time) this Thursday (9), the commercial dollar was operating in stability with a downward bias (-0.06%), quoted at R$ 5.1440, with an accumulated loss of 0.43% in the partial week. Yesterday (8), the exchange rate closed the day with a negative trend (-0.04%), at R$ 5.1470. In this trading session, the Brazilian market is operating with less liquidity due to the Constitutionalist Revolution holiday in the state of São Paulo, the country's main financial center. The economic agenda is empty here and, with that, investors are turning their attention abroad. As promised by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, after decreeing the end of the ceasefire agreement in the Middle East, US armed forces resumed attacks against Iran last night. The Revolutionary Guard of the Persian country, in turn, began a "massive" attack against US military bases in the region. Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain announced earlier that they had intercepted some Iranian missiles. The minutes from the June 16-17 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve (Fed), released yesterday, continue to resonate with investors. The document showed that policymakers remain concerned about persistent inflation, despite acknowledging that the US economy and labor market remain resilient. Shortly, the Department of Labor (DOL) will report new jobless claims for the past week. The day will also be marked by the release of US real estate sector data and a speech by John C. Williams, president of the New York Fed.
