Rio de Janeiro — A cool, grey morning gives way to a bright afternoon — ideal for a late breakfast outdoors and a long, lazy pedal along the shore.

The city’s energy today is at the Hippie Fair in Ipanema, where the Sunday crowd makes for peerless people‑watching.

Latin American markets are closed for the weekend; Friday’s settled levels for Argentina’s Merval, Colombia’s COLCAP and USD/COP are on the WEEK IN FIGURES board.

Today is for doing very little, beautifully.
