Even though the transactions tax has still not been implemented, the mere announcement created great pessimism. The worst thing is the market will move abroad. |
It must be that for them, the payment of the tax is minor compared with the potential profits to be made. |
The market has been depressed, and has already discounted a Chavez victory. I don't know who was surprised by the reports and this was not a reason for anyone to sell. But the market is very weak and is very open to manipulation. |
The market is waiting for the explanation of the government's economic policy and the Enabling Law. Added to this, there was also a lack of participants because of the proximity of the Carnival celebrations. |
The market was very dull and slow. There are still a lot of people on vacation. Another factor weighing (on the market) is associated with expectations about the remaining ministerial appointments and economic policies that President-elect Hugo Chavez will adopt. |
We saw some foreigners come in. |
