Dollar falls after IPCA and before US inflation data

The dollar fell shortly after the open on Wednesday, hovering around the 5 reais mark, as investors digested the lower-than-expected IPCA reading for March and awaited major inflation data from the United States.

At 9:03 am (Brasilia time), the spot dollar fell 0.08% to 5.0026 reais on sale. On B3, the front-month dollar futures contract fell 0.17% to 5.010 reais.

A day earlier, the cash dollar had closed the day at 5.0067 reais, down 0.50%.
