Dollar Falls Slightly Against the Real, Following the Movement of Emerging Currencies, While the Market Monitors Indicators and Statements from Authorities
At 10:36 AM on October 23, 2025, the spot dollar showed a decrease of 0.33%, trading at R$ 5.379 for sale.
On the B3, the November contract, the most liquid at the moment, fell 0.34%, to R$ 5.395.
This movement follows external behavior and reflects investors’ expectations for upcoming economic data.
Commercial Dollar: buy R$ 5.379, sell R$ 5.379.
Tourism Dollar: buy R$ 5.415, sell R$ 5.595.
DXY Index: +0.09%, at 99.018 points.
Performance Abroad
In the international scenario, the dollar lost strength against emerging currencies such as the South African rand, the Chilean peso, and the Mexican peso.
However, it gained against strong currencies like the yen and the British pound.
This behavior demonstrates a cautious environment and adjustments ahead of important economic events.
Expectations with CPI and FOMC
Investors are awaiting the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the United States on Friday (10/24).
Next Wednesday (10/29), they expect the decision from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve.
According to José Faria Júnior, director of Wagner Investimentos, “if the CPI does not come in stronger and there is a rate cut, the dollar could fall back to R$ 5.30 again.”
Thus, the real could benefit if the numbers reinforce the expectation of a softer monetary policy.
