At 12:32 pm (Brasília time), this Tuesday (26th), the Ibovespa on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3) registered an increase of 1.25% and was quoted at 118,850 points. The indicator resumes its business after a holiday in the city of São Paulo the day before, reflecting an increase of 15.12% in Petrobras shares, 5.14% in Hapvida, 5.18% in Iguatemi and 4.96% in JHSF. The market also assimilates the news that the new batch of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (IFA) from China will arrive in Brazil on February 3 for the production of just over 8 million of the Coronavac vaccine. Despite this, there is caution about the fiscal scenario in Brazil after the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) of the Central Bank (BC) signals an increase in the basic interest rate, the Selic, soon. The entity also reported earlier that the new growth of cases and deaths caused by coronavirus, together with the end of emergency aid, may imply a temporary reversal of the economic recovery. In the world, expectations also remain focused on the vaccination of the coronavirus, despite the resumption of restrictive social measures. Also beware of the first monetary policy decision of the year and the Joe Biden government that members of the Federal Reserve (Fed, central bank of the United States) will disclose tomorrow (27).
