As The Dollar Loses Strength Globally, Ranking of Valor Data Shows That the Real Accumulates a 16.18% High in 2025, Behind Only Russia, Hungary, Sweden, and Czech Republic.
The dollar lost strength in 2025 due to investors’ distrust in the economic policy of American President Donald Trump and the confirmation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. This movement opened space for several currencies to strengthen.
Among 33 currencies tracked by Valor Data, most show appreciation, including the Brazilian real.
With a nominal increase of 16.18% as of this Thursday (17), the real ranks fifth in the gains ranking. The interest rate differential between Brazil and the United States helped boost the domestic exchange rate, which is now operating at its lowest levels since June 2024.

Currency Ranking in 2025
The list is led by the Russian ruble, followed by currencies from Central and Northern Europe. Here are the five biggest gains and the four biggest losses:

| 1st | Russian Ruble |
| 2nd | Hungarian Forint |
| 3rd | Swedish Krona |
| 4th | Czech Koruna |
| 5th | Brazilian Real |
Worst Performance
Among the four currencies that lost value, the Argentine peso stands out as the negative highlight, with a devaluation of 30.05%. The market reduced confidence in Javier Milei’s government, which still attracted optimism in 2023.
Next, the Turkish lira accumulates a decrease of 14.45%. The Indian rupee drops 2.98%, and the Indonesian rupee completes the list with a decline of 1.84%.
The result shows that while the dollar weakens, the real takes advantage of the scenario and secures a prominent position globally.
Fico feliz de ver a valorização do real, percebi realmente que nosso câmbio está com uma vantagem imensa em relação aos argentinos quando visitei uma casa de câmbio recentemente, sinceramente me sinto mal pela situação terrível da economia argentina tenho amigos argentinos e os relatos deles são tristes, o desemprego aumentou, estatais importantes foram fechadas (como hospitais para crianças e pessoas deficientes) na canetada, o valor da aposentadoria foi reduzida e o salário mínimo não cresceu praticamente nada, isso enquanto o governo corta subsídios para energia e transportes, espero que a Argentina se recupere e saia desse buraco.
Torcida sem parar contra a Argentina. Que vergonha
Nem precisa fazer torcida, o maluco do presidente argentino que conversa com **** morto faz sozinho toda a ****.
Bem que a mídia (Globo, falha de sp,etc) tenta tirar leite de pedra, tentando fazer seus incautos espectadores acreditar que a Argentina é o paraíso na Terra, mas o Milei não ajuda…
