SAO PAULO (Reuters) – The Ibovespa closed on a fall this Friday and barely held the level of 100,000 points during the day. Statement by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell helped make an already negative session worse because of global fears over the omicron variant.
The advance of the Precatório PEC in the Brazilian Congress served as a counterpoint.
According to preliminary data, the Ibovespa fell 0.92% to 101,866.74 points. If confirmed, it will be the lowest closing of the year. In the low of the session, it was at 100,074.61, renewing the lowest level of 2021 in the intraday. The financial volume was 32.8 billion reais.
In November, also according to preliminary data, the index dropped 1.58%, the fifth consecutive low, the biggest sequence of monthly falls since the first half of 2013. In the year, the Ibovespa dropped 14.4%.
