Dollar rises to R$ 5.39 today due to external factors, even after inflation data in the US

The dollar closed Friday near stability against the real, with quotes reacting in the morning to the release of a price index lower than expected in the United States, but recovering later in line with the external market. The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.3% in September, seasonally adjusted, after a 0.4% increase in August. Over the last 12 months, the index for all items increased by 3.0% before seasonal adjustment. A Reuters survey with economists indicated that consumer prices would rise by 0.4% last month, after advancing by the same margin in August. Over the 12 months to September, the estimate was that consumer prices had increased by 3.1%.
