Ibovespa is up slightly near B3 closing

At around 5:25 pm (Brasília time), this Wednesday (06th), Ibovespa registered gains of 0.26%, quoted at 119,690 points on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3). Earlier, the indicator renewed its record by reaching 120,555 points. The market followed the upward movement of the past few days and gains of more than 5% in the shares of Bradespar, Gerdau and Usiminas. In addition, there is expectation about the ministerial meeting at the Planalto Palace with the presence of the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, amid economic uncertainties and a new wave of coronavirus in Brazil, as well as in the United States, Europe and Asia. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) today approved the coronavirus vaccine developed by the modern American company for use in Europe and should be analyzed by the European Commission shortly. Despite this, there is attention with the invasion of pro-Trump protesters in the United States Capitol and Congress. The vote for the country's last Senate seats is also on the radar.
