At 2:03 pm (Brasília time) on Tuesday (16), the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded losses of 0.30% and was traded 32,858 points. The session follows the market's caution around the monetary policy meeting that the Federal Reserve (FED, United States central bank) holds this today and tomorrow (17). Investors expect the entity to remain cautious, as the $ 1.9 trillion package has begun to be deployed to help the population cope with the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, the technical profit-making movements after recent gains and at the beginning of this session also had repercussions, despite the actions of companies in the technology sector trying to limit the fall.
