Corpus Christi — Thursday June 4 is a feriado municipal in São Paulo. Banks, B3 and the INSS are closed; Friday is also ponto facultativo, making this a four-day feriadão through Sunday.
The Pinacoteca is open today — all three buildings, 10h–18h. Pina Luz runs until 20h with free entry from 18h, the regular Thursday extended slot confirmed by the state government for the holiday.
The Ibovespa fell 2.22% to 170,330 points on Wednesday — new US-Iran escalation (attacks on Kuwait, US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz) and a US proposal for an additional 25% tariff on Brazilian imports sent the real to the worst performance of any currency globally. The dollar closed at R$5.0661; B3 does not trade today or tomorrow.
São Paulo clears dramatically this weekend: Saturday and Sunday both at 10% and 5% rain, 22–23°C — the best two days of the month. Paulista Ciclofaixa runs Sunday, Domingão Tarifa Zero Sunday, Brazil x Egypt Saturday in Cleveland.
