# Dollar Closes Week at Highest Since 2025 as Government Ends Extra Imported Diesel Subsidy

> The dollar closed the week at about R$5.65, its highest close since June 2025, after a 2.66% weekly gain. The Finance Ministry did not renew an extra R$1.40 per litre subsidy on imported diesel, keeping only the regular R$2.12 subsidy.

## Why it matters

A weaker real and the loss of the extra diesel subsidy raise the cost of imported diesel and freight for Brazilian logistics and feed distribution, which can squeeze margins.
