SPEAKING THE MARKET
From Dow Jones Newswires
The Brazilian economy continued to recover after starting in mid-April and that the improvement should continue in the coming months amid some relaxation of social measures, easier credit conditions, recovery of commodity prices and consolidation of global growth, according to Alberto Ramos, an economist at Goldman Sachs. Brazil’s central bank said on Monday that its real activity indicator, the IBC-Br, had risen 0.86% in October, and that the figures for September and August were being revised upwards. The recovery is facing some headaches, though, from the worsening numbers of Covid-19 infections in Brazil, rising consumer prices, high unemployment and the planned end of emergency aid payments to poor Brazilians after December, he said Ramos.

The month-on-month rise of 2.1% in eurozone industrial production in October shows that the sector is holding up well despite Covid-19’s revival in the region, said Bert Colijn, senior eurozone economist in ING. However, with tighter restrictions coming into effect in some countries, the turn of the year could see manufacturing slow down further or even contract again, he said. “We do not expect similar reductions as experienced during the first lock-in period, but the fate of the manufacturing recovery has become much more uncertain over the winter months,” Colijn said.
