At the close, at 6:00 pm (Brasília time) on Thursday (08), the Dow Jones Industrial Average registered gains of 0.33%, traded at 33,556 points. The indicator adjusted and reversed the fall of the day after the President of the Federal Reserve (FED) signaled that the authority does not intend to reduce the economic stimulus of the United States yet. Despite reports that the number of people who filed for USA claims for unemployment jumped 16,000 in the week ended April 3, to 744,000 claims. The result was well above analysts' expectations of 694,000 requests and 728,000 requests in the previous week. In addition, the market is also concerned with the worsening of the coronavirus pandemic in European countries and India, still in the midst of the slow vaccination.
