This is the night. Brazil face Scotland at 7 pm in the group decider, with top spot in Group C on the line — and Neymar back in the squad.

Bundle up — it is cold. At a chilly 14°C with rain almost certain, today is the low point of the cold snap, so a warm bar is the place for the football.

The Bovespa is climbing. It rose for a second day on Tuesday to above 171,000, even as the central bank’s minutes struck a firm tone on rates.

Relief is coming. The cold eases from Friday into a milder, brighter weekend, so today’s chill is the worst of it.
