Futures in New York and European markets fell while most Asian stocks closed higher on Tuesday (5) on the return of the US Independence Day.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and China’s Vice Premier Liu He held talks Monday to discuss macroeconomic issues. The US and China are in talks to lift some Trumpera trade tariffs and sanctions, which could provide some relief to rising inflation.
As for the indicators, China’s service sector activity grew according to Caixin’s Services PMI. The index rose to 54.5 in June from 41.4 in May. However, fresh lockdowns in the country keep uncertainties about the strength of growth.
This week’s US economic calendar includes the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting on Wednesday and payroll on Friday. Factory orders for May are expected this Tuesday.
Here, industrial production is slightly increased in May (9:00), but the domestic scenario is dominated by the “PEC of goodness” process, which may continue to include new benefits at increasingly higher costs.
The constant opening of exceptions weakens the public spending ceiling and consequently increases the country’s fiscal risk. As fiscal risk increased, the real appreciation trend that started in early 2022 reversed.

3. Auxiliary PEC
The Commerce Department sees no room for an increase in spending at the PEC, which increases welfare spending through December. The strategy is to try, with the support of government leaders, to get new concessions included in the House vote. The aim of the Planalto is that the proposal will be voted on on Wednesday.
In the chamber, the rapporteur, MP Danilo Forte (UniãoCE), proposes to create a petrol aid for app drivers. However, this measure is considered difficult to implement due to the lack of a register and the risk of fraud. Forte estimates that there is scope to increase the cost of the “PEC dos Auxílios” up to BRL 50 billion. Changing the PEC in the House of Representatives would force a new vote in the Senate. The government wants to guarantee the increase of Auxílio Brasil and the gas credit this month, which is considered difficult by the technical sector.
App drivers prefer BRL 1,000 allowance but would accept BRL 200
The President of the Association of Candidate Drivers of São Paulo (Amasp), Eduardo Lima, said that the category with the deputies called for the extension of the R$ 200 taxi driver allowance provided for in the “PEC dos Auxílios” also to candidate drivers.
“Equalizing the value of the truck driver benefit (R$1,000) would be ideal for the class; but we know that would be impossible at the moment given the weak economy we have today,” he says. “So our job boils down to getting our drivers involved in the value of taxi drivers so we can be successful with this change in the Rush.”
