Returning from the Easter holidays, the dollar ended the day higher against the real in Brazil, in line with the rest of the world, where the US currency also sustained gains after the release last Friday of data in the jobs in the United States.
On Friday, the US jobs report showed the creation of 236,000 nonfarm jobs last month. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 239,000 jobs in March.
The market has seen an increase in the possibility that the Federal Reserve (Fed, the central bank of the United States) will raise its interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, to curb inflation. In response, the dollar has sustained gains against several currencies around the world.
The spot dollar ended the day trading at 5.0659 reais for sale, up 0.15%.
On the B3, at 17:18 (Brasilia time), the first dollar futures contract rose by 0.22%, to 5.0820 reais.
