Chaotic and volatile week scares the Brazilian financial market; the Ibovespa (IBOV) index varied almost 3 thousand points yesterday

Almost two months after hitting the previously unprecedented 100,000-point mark, the Bovespa Index, the Ibovespa (IBOV), has again curved against the strong risk aversion in the international market. In an environment of intense volatility since June 19, when the Ibovespa it had been holding above 100,000 points, reaching over 105,000 on July 10. From that peak, the international market turmoil coupled with the election results in Argentina and the unpreparedness of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's government to participate in political negotiations in the country and internationally have been holding back the index's advance beyond this level. Since then, the index has fallen by 6.39%.

The actions of the Brazilian Central Bank helped to hold the dollar around the 4 reais, which, in a way, helped calm the financial market a bit.

Today the Ibovespa has opened up, but in recent days the index has shown very large variations. This morning, the index recovered part of the accumulated losses in recent days. A scenario of corrections for the violent falls of recent days.
