Dollar rises and closes at R$5.48 after Copom decision with economic policy in focus; Ibovespa falls

The dollar closed up 0.67% at R$5.4885 after the central bank kept the Selic at 13.75%. Investors also watched fiscal signals from the Lula government, and US jobless claims fell to their lowest level since 1969.

WHY IT MATTERS

Fiscal worries and a firm dollar weigh on the real, which can make Brazilian exports cheaper in dollar terms and modestly pressure global soymeal and corn offers.
