At 6:15 pm (Brasília time), this Tuesday (23), the Ibovespa on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3) registered a drop of 1.49% and was quoted at 113,261 points. The second session of the week went to the negative side, reflecting fears about the significant growth in the number of cases, deaths and hospitalizations due to the disease in Brazil and worldwide. Which caused WTI oil to fall more than 6% on the New York Stock Exchange. Germany again imposed lockdown to contain the third wave of the disease and Brazil reached the record of 3,251 deaths by COVID-19 in 24 hours. EDF President Jerome Powell and United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also today signaled a possible increase in taxes in the country to offset the $ 1.9 trillion pandemic aid package. In addition, the Second Panel of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) resumed today the judgment of suspicion of the ex-judge of Lava Jato in Curitiba, Sergio Moro, in the convictions of ex-president Lula. Shortly after the closing of the trading session, the members of the House decided that the former judge was partial in the process, annulling the necessary convictions.
