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.
Wrap up and bring a brolly. At a cooler 21°C with a good chance of rain, today is one for the bars and indoors — ideal 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.
Brighter days are coming. The rain clears from Friday into a dry, mild weekend, so today’s grey spell is a short one.
