Sue, novamente, eu prefiro traduzir a frase completa como se segue: Explanation: "Neither a reduction in the price of a barrel of oil, nor the swift rebound of the external markets were sufficient to stir confidence into the Bovespa investors. At market closing, Bovespa shares lost 2.52% on a volume of R$640 million." Cumprimentos. Boa sorte. Luis Luis |

Pregão (auction) is used to .... Explanation: designate both the trading room or "floor" of a stock exchange and the normal trading hours in that exchange. You will also find "recinto de negociações" in the meaning of floor exchange e "pregão de viva voz" for the transactions in the trading room and "pregão eletrônico" for the computer aided trading systems (CATS). Pregão is more specific than mercado (market), as it refers specifically to the normal hours of trading in the floor exchange, while market encompasses also the CATS, the after-hours market, the OTC market and sometimes even the primary market. I would add that "Bovespa Index" would be slightly more precise than "Bovespa shares". Márcio |
