The trial of former president Lula interfered positively in the markets movement on Wednesday (24). The Ibovespa registered a record mark both in the intraday record (volume verified at a given moment in the session) and in the closing of the trading session. On the other hand, the dollar marked a devaluation of 2.44%, closing the day quoted at R$ 3,159, the lowest value since October.

The stock exchange began trading at 80,678 points and was trading at moderate highs, but it registered a sudden evolution as soon as Judge Leandro Paulsen gave the second vote against the appeal of Lula's defense and upheld his conviction. The index rose rapidly to 83,567 points at 4:50 pm, about 15 minutes after Paulsen's vote.

The session closed at 83,680 points, which represents a high of 3.72% over the previous day, the highest growth in 15 months. The score is the highest in stock history, far surpassing the previous close record of 81,680, reached on Monday (22).
