At 2:03 pm (Brasília time), this Monday (11th), the Ibovespa on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3) recorded losses of 0.94% and was quoted at 123,895 points. Earlier it reached 125,075 thousand points. The indicator continues the devaluation of the beginning of the day with technical movements in realizing profits after gains in the last days and breaking historical records. The losses of 4.29% in Multiplan's shares, 3.95% in Iguatemi, 3.64% in Ultrapar and 3.37% in IRB Brasil are also reflected. In addition, the growth in records of new infections and deaths caused by the coronavirus worries the market, which fears for stricter social restraint measures in Brazil and in the world, including new lockdowns in China. The increase in contamination also runs counter to initial expectations of disease control with the vaccine, as more than 50 countries have started immunization in recent weeks. Political issues also put pressure. In the United States, lawmakers presented Congressional President Donald Trump's impeachment article after the invasion of the House and the Capitol.
