At 2:00 pm (Brasília time) on Monday (05), the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.25% and traded 33,568 points. The United States recovered 916 thousand jobs in March, the biggest increase since August, which caused the unemployment rate to drop to 6.0%, according to data from the Department of Labor. The country also reached the record mark of 4 million people vaccinated against the coronavirus in the period of 24 hours. In addition, market optimism revolves around the reopening of economic activities in Europe after a long period of restrictions to reduce the spread of the disease, as in the United Kingdom and Portugal.
