Soon, opening auctions of U.S. Dollar Futures Contract (DOL) and Mini U.S. Dollar Futures Contract (WDO) will take place in a synchronized manner at B3. The change will solve existing challenges faced by the market, providing greater efficiency and predictability in trades.

The measure will eliminate price discrepancies caused by the lack of synchronicity in product auctions.
