At 14h31 (Brasília time), this Wednesday (06th), the commercial dollar advanced 1.01% and was traded at R$ 5.3150. While the Ptax fell 0.16%, to R$ 5.3182. The day turned to the positive side with the increase in market demand for financial security and the influence of technical adjustments in positions after devaluation the day before. Negatively, Bacchus Central (BC) today holds an auction of up to 16,000 traditional swap contracts. The market also follows the growth of people in extreme poverty in Brazil in the midst of the new wave of contamination of COVID-19, which also continues to advance in countries in Europe and Asia, contrary to expectations of disease control. In addition, the ADP report noted that the United States closed 123,000 formal jobs in the private sector in December 2020, reflecting the country's economic weakness with significant new growth in coronavirus infections despite advances in vaccination. Attention should also be given to the definition of the last two seats in the US Senate that must be filled by Democrats from the same party as President-elect Joe Biden, according to preliminary data released.
