President Lula (PT), re-elected, was admitted to the Sírio-Libanês Hospital, in São Paulo, on the afternoon of Tuesday, 3rd, for a medical evaluation. According to InfoMoney, the case was described as routine, but the position he occupies keeps attention on his health.
Late Tuesday night, the hospital itself reported that all of Lula's tests were normal. This is the most concrete information released so far about the president's health status.
The Presidency's Secom maintains that the agenda was already set and that the exams would only be carried out after the elections. The explanation seeks to rule out the idea that the visit was caused by a new fact.
As he is the head of the Executive, any information about his health affects the reading about the continuity of management and the progress of the government's agenda. For those who follow public accounts, the predictability of federal management is one of the points carefully observed by the market.
In the available reports, there are no details of the tests beyond the general result reported by the hospital. Secom also did not add other data to the statement.
What changes for the investor
From what has been released, the episode does not, in itself, provide any new data on interest rates, the dollar or public accounts. Those who operate Nasdaq, interest rates and exchange rates tend to treat this type of news as noise, unless it turns into doubt about the conduct of economic policy. Therefore, the most useful thing is to continue following the fiscal agenda, Central Bank decisions and the news from Brasília, without drawing conclusions from an assessment that has been described as routine.
