The cold has broken. Today is milder and brighter at 20°C with little rain, and the weekend is shaping up warm and sunny.
Brazil’s next test is set. As Group C winners, they face Japan in the round of 32 on Monday, in Houston — a tougher tie than recent wins suggest.
The Bovespa is flying. It jumped on Thursday past 172,000 as softer inflation data cheered investors, with the dollar easing back below R$5.20.
A weekend for the open air. With the warmth back, the parks and the car-free streets are firmly on the menu again.
