🇧🇷 Real brasileiro (BRL) in 🇺🇸 Dólar americano (USD)
About the BRL → USD conversion
O par BRL/USD é o mais acompanhado pelos brasileiros. O dólar americano é a moeda de reserva global e referência em compras internacionais, e-commerce, tecnologia e viagens aos EUA.
A cotação do dólar frente ao real é influenciada por decisões do Banco Central do Brasil (taxa SELIC), política monetária do Federal Reserve (Fed), balança comercial, fluxo de capital estrangeiro e risco-país (medido pelo CDS ou EMBI+). Em períodos de instabilidade fiscal brasileira ou crises externas, o dólar tende a se valorizar frente ao real.
Para compras internacionais com cartão de crédito, adicione o IOF de 4,38% ao câmbio cotado. Para dólar espécie (notas), o IOF é 1,1%, mas o spread das casas de câmbio pode ser maior. Compare antes de fechar.
