  "account": "Brazil's stock market saw its biggest one-day gain in over two weeks as strong US jobs data brought a welcome boost. The Ibovespa, the benchmark index of the Brazilian stock market in São Paulo, rose 1.39% to 168,498 points on Friday, November 6, 2026. This marked a 0.34% gain for the week, the first since three consecutive losses. The rebound was driven by strong hiring in the US, with employers adding 165,000 jobs in October, compared to an average of 48,000 monthly over the past year. The unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, with average hourly pay rising 0.4% to $38.00. The iShares Brazil ETF, a US-listed fund tracking Brazilian shares, closed 0.7% higher at $31.98. The key gainers were Vale, the iron ore miner, and Itaú Unibanco, Brazil's largest private bank. However, the real, Brazil's currency, did not join the party, with the commercial dollar rising 0.36% to R$5.508, meaning one real bought about $0.18. This gain is seen as small compared to the index's 13.9% drop on Monday, October 26, and its 18% decline from its October 23 closing high of 205,083.",
