Rio de Janeiro — The day opens warm and humid, with intermittent showers likely by mid-afternoon across Rio.

Your best call is a climate-controlled cultural morning in Centro followed by a long lunch in Santa Teresa.

Global markets turned tech-positive overnight, but the Rio trader’s focus remains on Brazilian unemployment and fiscal debate.

Make Friday a working-lunch day: culture before the rain, laptop in the afternoon, live jazz after dark.
