The Ibovespa fell 0.1% to close at 46,237 on Tuesday after setting record highs amid rising fears of a US government shutdown and weaker US markets reduced demand for risk assets and threatened the timely release of key economic data which raised uncertainty about global growth. Oil prices slid and hit Petrobras which fell 1.9% and weighed on commodity linked sectors. At home the labour market still shows strength with unemployment at 5.6% for the quarter to August yet formal job creation is slowing and several activity indicators point to a loss of momentum. Fiscal signals also worried investors after the Treasury raised its financing targets and public debt ticked higher which increased focus on funding needs and risk premia.
