At 15h16 (Brasília time), this Monday (29th), the commercial dollar gained 0.35% and was traded at R$ 5.7630. The Ptax jumped 1.55%, to R$ 5.7925. The currency gains strength in this session with an eye on the resignation request of the Brazilian Foreign Minister, Ernesto Araújo, after pressure from parliamentarians for complications in the negotiations of international vaccines against the coronavirus. In addition, Brazilian consumer confidence registered the worst performance in nine months in March, at 77.6 points. While the Central Bank (BC) elevated the country's inflation for the twelfth time, to 4.81% in 2021. In the international scenario, investors assimilate the billionaire loss in global supply after the six-day stranding of the mega carrier Ever Given on the Canal of Suez, Egypt. The economic uncertainties surrounding the continued spread of the coronavirus and its strains also resonate, despite vaccination and a 179% jump in China's industrial profit.
