Bovespa officials also revealed on Friday that the São Paulo stock exchange closed June with a deficit equivalent to US$ 4.06 billion, which means that contrary to what happened in April when there was virtually a flood of foreign capital, the inflow this last month was negative.
In April, the Bovespa operations had a surplus of US$ 3.7 billion but beginning in May foreign capital began leaving and closed the month with a mere US$ 300 million plus.
In June, the São Paulo stock exchange lost 10.43%, with foreign purchase of Brazilian stocks totaling US$ 28.3 billion, but sales jumped to US$ 32.95 billion and the resulting loss of money volume.
However in spite of a very adverse June, the Bovespa managed to close the first semester with a surplus of foreign investment of US$ 3.3 billion, mostly because of the several public offerings with foreigners wanting to change currency into stock assets.
