Ibovespa reaches 155,000 points with its 14th consecutive rise.
The Ibovespa index, the main indicator of the Brazilian stock exchange, closed up 0.77% this Monday (10), reaching 155,257 points. This was the 14th consecutive rise, a sequence that approaches the historical record of 15 consecutive rises, registered in 1994. The performance was driven by shares in sectors such as oil companies, mining companies and banks, reflecting investor optimism in both internal and external factors.
In 2025, the Ibovespa accumulated an appreciation of 29.08%, the largest annual increase since 2019, when it rose 31.58%. In the currency market, the commercial dollar fell 0.55%, closing at 5.307, influenced by market expectations regarding the minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) and the official inflation figures for October. If inflation comes in below expectations, the Central Bank may bring forward the start of the Selic rate cut to January, further stimulating investments in variable income.
