Brazil's real gains as central bank sells $3 billion in spot auction
BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 07:37 AM ESTBRASILIA, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank sold $3 billion in a spot auction on Thursday, extending a series of interventions in the foreign exchange market amid a greenback outflow from Latin America's largest economy.
Following the auction, which had been announced late on Monday ahead of the Christmas holiday, the Brazilian real strengthened 0.5% against the U.S. dollar. (Reporting by Marcela Ayres; Editing by Gabriel Araujo)
