At the close, at 18h 23 (Brasília time), this Thursday (21st), the Ibovespa on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3) registered a significant drop of 1.10% and was rated at 118,328 points. The market was pressured by signs of weakness in the United States economy, which has not yet received approval for the stimulus package announced by President Joe Biden. In addition, there are fears aimed at the growth of the spread of coronavirus in the world and the possibility of Brazil going 40 days without the vaccine of the disease, despite India having confirmed the sending of 2 million doses. The 6.15% devaluation in Eletrobras shares, 5.64% in Eztec and 5.35% in Cyrela also had repercussions, as well as the drop in the price of WTI oil on the New York Stock Exchange.
