At the close, at 17h49 (Brasília time) this Wednesday (27th), the Dow Jones Industrial Average registered losses of 2.05%, traded at 30,303 points. The session followed the losses of the past few days and the Federal Reserve's (FED) Federal Open Market Committee (Fomc) decision to keep the United States' basic interest rate between 0% and 0.25% in due to the considerable economic weight of the health crisis. The rate was as the market expects, but for the FED, recovery depends "significantly" on the course of the coronavirus and vaccination. In addition, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, said today that there is no forecast when the stricter social restrictions in the country will end to contain the second wave of the disease. Boeing's shares also fell more than 3% this afternoon after announcing that it had a record annual loss of nearly $ 12 billion in 2020.
