Nos mercados financeiros, onde a confiança viaja mais rápido do que os fatos, uma sinalização de Jerome Powell sobre um aumento de juros de meio ponto percentual foi suficiente para reverberar do Atlântico até a Bolsa de São Paulo. Na sexta-feira, o Ibovespa encerrou em queda de 2,86%, aos 111.077 pontos, acumulando cinco sessões consecutivas de perdas e a pior semana em seis meses. O episódio lembra que, em economias interligadas, as decisões de um banco central distante podem redefinir o horizonte de investidores a milhares de quilômetros de distância.
