At 15h 19 (Brasília time), this Wednesday (03), the commercial dollar advanced 0.26% and was traded at R$ 5.3700. While the Ptax fell 0.84%, to R$ 5.3423. The currency shifted to the positive side with the influence of technical adjustments in positions after recent losses with the positive assimilation of the elections of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. But the market remains uncertain about the country's fiscal future, tax reform and the consequences of the possible expansion of emergency aid amid the continued spread of the coronavirus pandemic and slow global vaccination. In addition, the Central Bank (BC) is conducting today a traditional swap auction to roll up to 16 thousand contracts due in June and October 2021. In the international scenario, fears remain focused on the health collapse in European countries, Asia and America that the coronavirus and its mutations continue to cause, despite vaccination, measures of social containment and signs of economic recovery.
