If you have a stock portfolio, you are exposed to the risk of a broad market decline. Dollar futures can be used as a hedging tool to mitigate these losses. In July 2026, with Ibovespa on the rise, many investors are using this strategy.
When the dollar rises, Ibovespa tends to fall. Therefore, if you sell dollar futures (short position), you are protecting your portfolio against a real depreciation. If the dollar rises, the loss on stocks will be offset by the gain on the short position.

To implement the hedge correctly, it is important to calculate the position size. You should consider your portfolio value and the correlation between the dollar and Ibovespa. Risk management and derivatives courses can help you do this precisely.
