* The Instituto Brasileiro de Economia (Ibre) at the Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) university has released a series of indicators which show that confidence in Brazil’s economic outlook is falling. Both the index for commerce confidence (Icom) and the index for services confidence (ICS) were down in November, by 6.2 and 2.3 points respectively.
