Entenda o que faz o preço do dólar subir ou cair O dólar abriu a sessão desta sexta-feira (10) em queda, com um recuo de 0,24% perto das 9h, cotado a R$ 5,1103.

The new Brazilian inflation data is the highlight of the day. According to IBGE, the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA) rose 0.16% in June, accumulating an increase of 4.64% in 12 months. The indicator is closely monitored by the Central Bank of Brazil (BC) in assessing the prospects for the future of interest rates in the country. ?? Furthermore, the escalation of tensions in the Middle East is also on the radar. Na quinta-feira, os Estados Unidos e o Irã anunciaram novos ataques em meio à disputa pelo controle do Estreito de Ormuz, uma das rotas marítimas mais importantes do mundo para o transporte de petróleo e gás. Still, American President Donald Trump stated that the country "seeks an agreement" to end the conflict. Faced with uncertainties regarding the war, oil rose this Friday. Around 9 am, a barrel of Brent, an international reference, rose 0.30%, quoted at US$76.53. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), traded in the USA, rose 0.19%, to US$ 72.22 per barrel.

Accumulated for the week: -0.76%; Accumulated for the month: +0.42%; Accumulated for the year: +7.21%. EUA e Irã trocam ataques Na noite de quarta-feira (8), as forças do Comando Central dos EUA realizaram uma nova rodada de ataques contra o Irã, com o objetivo de reduzir a capacidade do país de atacar navios no Estreito de Ormuz. The military action hit around 90 strategic targets along the Iranian coast. Among the structures destroyed or damaged are air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities and military logistics infrastructure. ? The Strait of Hormuz is a maritime corridor about 50 kilometers wide that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean. Before the war, around 20% of all oil and gas traded in the world passed through the area. O que é o Estreito de Ormuz, fundamental para petróleo mundial Embora o Irã não seja o proprietário da via marítima, ele controla a costa norte do estreito, além de diversas ilhas e posições militares. This allows the country to monitor practically all vessel traffic in the region. In recent years, Iran has turned this geographic position into an instrument of political and military pressure. After the start of the war, the country closed the strait to gain an advantage at the negotiating table. Currently, the Iranian government advocates that the world recognize the country's sovereignty over the maritime route. Global stock markets In Europe, concern about the conflict in the Middle East weighed on the markets, which operated mixed this Friday (10). Entre os principais índices, o DAX, da Alemanha, tinha queda de 0,01% perto das 9h, enquanto o CAC-40, da França, recuava 0,03% e o FTSE 100, do Reino Unido, subia 0,11%. In Asia, most stock exchanges closed higher, driven by greater optimism regarding Chinese internet companies. The CSI 300, which brings together the largest companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzen, fell 1.96%, while the Shanghai composite index, the SSEC, lost 1%. O Hang Seng, de Hong Kong, subiu 0,60%, enquanto o Nikkei, do Japão, avançou 1,20% e o Kospi, da Coreia do Sul, teve uma valorização de 2,52%. Dollar bills. Rick Wilking/Reuters
