Brazil's dollar fixing rises 1.33% before Copom decision

Brazil's official PTAX dollar selling rate rose to R$5.4935 on 3 November, up 1.33% from R$5.4212 on 30 October. The comparison spans the 2 November national holiday.

The Copom policy decision, with the Selic at 13.75%, is due on 4 November.

WHY IT MATTERS

PTAX is a benchmark for currency contracts, and a weaker real raises the reais cost of Brazilian export commodities for dollar buyers. Traders will watch the Copom outcome for the next move in the currency.
