Portuguese translation:o rendimento tinha sido superior a 3% na 2ª-feira
Explanation:
"north of 3%" -- expressão figurativa... como norte no mapa é para cima, os valores ficaram "a norte" dos 3%, mas depois do discurso "they went south" (uma expressão em Inglês que usamos quando coisas correm mal--- "that's when it all went south")
