At the close, at 5:50 pm (Brasília time) on Wednesday (03), the Dow Jones Industrial Average registered gains of 1.57%, traded at 30,687 points. The day was marked by signs of economic recovery in the United States with the information that 174,000 jobs were created in January, according to the report released by Automatic Data Processing (ADP). The result exceeded the expectations of analysts generating 50 thousand jobs in the period, but the official data will be released on Friday (05) by the country's Department of Labor. In addition, the market follows the advances in coronavirus vaccination and the development of immunizers, despite the spread of the disease and collapses in the health system of European countries, mainly Portugal. The jump of more than 7% in the shares of Alphabet Inc and the gains of 1.97% in the spot of the WTI oil also had repercussions.
