The last day of June lands soft and bright. It is a mild winter Tuesday with a high near 26°C and barely a cloud worth mentioning.
Brazil are through. A heart-stopping 2-1 win over Japan on Monday night sends the Seleção into the round of 16, and the whole country woke a little lighter for it.
The market is flying. The Ibovespa closed last week at a record above 173,000 as global money rotated into Latin American stocks, with the dollar holding near R$5.17.
A day made for the beach. With the sun out and the sea swimmable, the sand, the seafront and the viewpoints are all firmly on the menu.
