At 2:04 pm (Brasília time) on Friday (19), the Dow Jones Industrial Average registered losses of 0.46% and 32,711 points were traded. The last session of the week continues the losses from the previous day, still reflecting the rise in United States Treasury bills and fears of a possible increase in inflation in the country. The devaluation in the actions of the main banks and monitoring of the studies of the new strains of the coronavirus in California, in the USA, also reflected. France has also re-imposed stricter social restrictions to combat the new growth of the disease, despite the resumption of vaccination with the AstraZeneca / Oxford immunizer. Last Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (Fomc, in English) of the Federal Reserve (FED, central bank of the United States) kept the country's basic interest rate unchanged, between 0% and 0.25% per year , as expected.
