The cold front has landed. Saturday is decidedly cool and cloudy with a high of just 18.5°C, a sharp drop after the mild week.

One sleep to kickoff. Brazil face Norway in the round of 16 tomorrow, a 5 pm BRT start at MetLife Stadium, with Haaland and Vinícius Júnior the headline act.

The market closed the week on relief. A soft US jobs report had lifted the Ibovespa to 172,788 on Thursday, with the dollar steady near R$5.21, and the exchanges are shut for the weekend.
