Ômicron, Inflation in Brazil and the US and what you need to know to invest well this week

This week ends with the Christmas holidays, but before the holidays begin, investors will follow important data on inflation in Brazil and the United States. The days following the market reaction to the restrictions imposed on the progress of the Ômicron variant around the world will continue to be marked.

This Monday, the 20th, will focus on the release of the Focus Bulletin, a weekly survey by the Central Bank with analysts showing how analysts’ expectations of 2022 after the Monetary Commission’s tough talk went.

Last week, BC President Roberto Campos Neto made it clear that the company’s priority was to combat inflation, despite the recession in the Brazilian economy.

With the rapid development of புதியmicron, the new strain of the corona virus, investors are still following the consequences of restrictions in circulation in European countries.

GDP and inflation in Brazil and the United States

On Wednesday, the United States announced the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the third quarter – consistent data on the behavior of the world’s largest economy during that period (note that the numbers are subject to three revisions).

But the US inflation data, which will be released a day later, should attract more investor attention. On Thursday, at 10:30 a.m., the United States released the PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index) for November and data on the personal income and expenses of Americans.

This is an indication that the Fed (US Federal Reserve) will follow suit in making its monetary policy decisions – amid the inconvenience caused by price fluctuations – the company has already announced that it will intensify its reversal of stimulus to the economy.

In Brazil, the IPCA-15 (Wide Consumer Price Index) was released on Thursday, showing how Brazilian inflation behaved in the first half of December.
