    I have a website that receives only Brazilian traffic, and even if it did get any foreign traffic it would be of no use.

    I have registered the same name in both TLDs, and until now the .COM.BR version has been 301 redirected to the .COM version.

    My question is: should I default it to the .COM.BR version? How would it affect my rankings?

    You would not see any big change in ranking I think. But you should stay with the .com domain. Afterall, .COM is the king :)

    Don't change it. Keep the .com. After all, it looks better, easier to type and your url shorter. Keep it as it is ;)

    Yes, it may impact your rankings.
    This may improve your Brazilian traffic but influence your global traffic.
