Key Points
Brazil’s market reopens Friday after Thursday’s Corpus Christi holiday, returning to a nervous global mood after two days away.
The Ibovespa last traded Wednesday at 170,331, and now has to catch up to two days of world news at once when it opens.
The big event today is the US jobs report, due mid-morning Brazil time, which often sets the mood for markets everywhere.
The real has kept weakening, with the US dollar now buying about 5.06 reais — its strongest level against the real in several weeks.
