SAO PAULO, Brazil, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Brazil's currency firmed on Thursday even as the central bank offered to buy dollars on the local foreign exchange market for the 25th time in just over a month as it seeks to build up reserves.
The real, which has rallied more than 21 percent since the start of the year, was trading 0.32 percent stronger than Wednesday's close at 2.171 per dollar when the bank made the offer.
The central bank auctions are designed to bolster Brazil's hard currency reserves and, indirectly, weaken the real, whose surge against the dollar is irking exporters.
