# Dollar Reverses Course and Advances as Markets Focus on Public Finances

> The Brazilian real weakened against the US dollar on November 9, with the dollar trading at 5.517 reais, up 0.16%, despite a decline in the DXY. Investors were concerned about Brazil’s public finances after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva warned of rising public debt without detailing fiscal adjustment measures; market forecasts also showed higher projected inflation and slightly lower GDP growth for 2027.
