The bank said in a statement will conduct one auction on Wednesday to sell U.S. dollars with a repurchase date set for Feb. 1, 2013. Unlike previous auctions, the bank has already set a cutoff rate of 2.1105 reais per greenback when buying the dollars back. The announcement came after Brazil's currency market had closed. The real ended at 2.0881 per dollar, or 0.36 percent firmer on the day.
