O british financial diary (🇬🇧🚥) states that the one-month volatility in the Real, an indicator of how much money investors are willing to pay to protect themselves from currency changes over the next 30 days, is 16,6.

The FT states that despite the risks to the Brazilian economy, such as the growing public deficit, the country's stock market represents a good entry point for bargain hunters among investors.
