President Donald Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs Emerging market local currency bond yields slid by 13 basis points between April 2 — when Trump announced the tariffs — and April 25 according to the most recent data provided by JPMorgan the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose by more than 7 basis points during the same period "We are seeing that pickup into emerging market fixed income assets," said Brandywine Global Investment Management's portfolio manager Carol Lye Brazil and South Africa were some of the countries that could see more demand for their bonds Get top local Philly stories delivered to you every morning with NBC Philadelphia's News Headlines newsletter As these bonds are priced in the domestic currency overseas investors' purchases also increases the demand for the local currency So that premium pays us to be there [emerging markets] and the currencies are also benefiting from that shift out of the dollar story," Lye said "This is an effort by investors to diversify away from the U.S particularly local investors," said Mark Mobius chairman of Mobius Emerging Opportunities Fund adding that domestic investors of emerging markets likely to be among those rotating out from U.S Treasurys into these fixed income assets due to their exposure to the local currency Treasurys sell-off also saw a rush toward alternate safe-haven assets such as Euro bonds and Japanese government bonds but given they are developed markets that rotation was not an unusual occurrence What's surprised investors about emerging markets is the common narrative and expectations that they "won't be holding up" with an impending U.S "I think a lot of people are being proven wrong adding that there's enough fiscal buffers and monetary space with some of these countries to offset growth concerns Other market watchers noted that emerging market local currency fixed income tends to fare better than other counterparts when the greenback is under pressure EM local currency fixed income would tend to outperform most other fixed income assets," said Tadas Gedminas vice president of the investment bank's global emerging market strategy research team are beginning to view emerging markets through an "entirely new lens," said Paul Benson head of systematic fixed income at Insight Investment investors tried to invest overseas such as in emerging market bonds they often lost money once the dollar strengthened A strong dollar shrinks the profits from investments made in other currencies "But the Sturm und Drang of 2025 has finally turned the tables," he said adding that the relative underperformance of U.S risk assets and even typical safe havens such as the greenback and Treasurys has intrigued domestic investors about opportunities they may be missing abroad Aberdeen Investments' director of fixed income Viktor Szabó said that while he likes emerging market local currency bonds it is still "early days" to determine exactly where global investors are rotating their bond positions Aberdeen also noted that rather than pulling out from U.S some investors have rotated from the long-dated bonds to short-duration ones like the 2-year Treasurys 2-year Treasury yields fell in the days that followed Trump's April 2 tariffs while the 30-year Treasury yield saw a more than 30 basis points spike within a week The benchmark 10-year yield also rose by 30 basis points Treasurys were the ultimate safe asset for a very long time many investors would have to completely rethink their asset allocation," Benson said Oscar will return to former club São Paulo. Xiao Tao/VCG via Getty ImagesOscar will return to his former club São Paulo on a three-year contract the Brazilian Serie A side said on Tuesday Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar, who made 48

According to the 2017 agricultural census by IBGE the national statistics and geography agency 81% of farms are up to 50 hectares (124 acres) in size yet represent only 12.8% of the total rural land area Nearly a third of the country’s rural area is held by just 0.3% of agricultural establishments each owning an average of more than 2,500 hectares (about 6,200 acres) USAID estimated in 2011 that 1% of the Brazilian population owned 45% of all land while nearly 5 million families were landless and nearly 100 million hectares (247 million acres) of rural lands — an area half the size of Greenland — remained uncultivated The roots of this inequality go back to the colonial era Brazil was divided into 15 rectangular-shaped “captaincies,” each run as fiefdoms by Portuguese noblemen The 1850 Land Law stated that the only way to gain access to public lands in a country steeped in colonialism and slavery for centuries as Brazil’s military regime pushed for agricultural growth and modernization by offering state incentives such as cheap credit to encourage farmers to invest in land “This mainly enabled big landowners to acquire even more land especially on the agricultural frontier,” Sauer says “It further added to the concentration of land [ownership] and further widened the ownership divide.”  Despite Article 184 of Brazil’s Constitution, land and even buildings in many states across the country have lain empty for decades, according to the USAID there were some 280,000 abandoned properties and 130,000 homeless families in 2017 USAID flagged a similar paradox: 74% of farmers own 24% of all arable land while agribusiness controls 76% of the arable land Two million farming families have an average monthly income of just $15 and need government aid The struggle for land has long been a dominant feature of Brazilian politics. According to historians, a proposal for land reform was a major reason for the military coup that toppled President João Goulart in 1964 President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva passed a decree creating the Terra da Gente (Land of the People) program it aims to help 295,000 farming families acquire land or legalize their informal situation received 520 million reais ($88 million) to expropriate and allocate land in 2024 But with Congress dominated by the agribusiness lobby Lula still faces an uphill battle when it comes to reforming farming the lower House passed a bill that would penalize people occupying public or private land by excluding them from receiving any public benefits including those related to agrarian reform programs former minister of environment under Jair Bolsonaro “This is the beginning of the end for MST,” Salles said On the same day that Lula launched Terra da Gente MST occupied a 200-hectare (500-acre) area outside the city of Campinas about 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of São Paulo the developer requested Campinas municipal authorities to alter the land’s designation in the zoning plan from “rural” to “urban,” which would allow it to build a multistory apartment block as every April the MST commemorates the massacre of Eldorado do Carajás about 1,500 people assembled on a highway near the town of Eldorado do Carajás in the state of Pará to march on the provincial capital Instructed to prevent a blockade of the highway “at all costs,” local police opened fire with automatic rifles Land conflicts aren’t a relic of Brazil’s past. According to data from the Pastoral Land Commission (CPT), a Catholic Church-affiliated advocacy group, in 2023 Brazil recorded 1,724 rural land conflicts, the highest number since the organization began keeping records in 1985 put a gun to her head and told her to leave “He was a follower of Bolsonaro who used to refer to MST as a ‘terrorist organization,’” Roseãngela tells Mongabay I made it clear to him that I’d rather die than go anywhere else.”  Past several small farms surrounded by fields of lettuce as well as numerous structures under construction Roseãngela’s sister Iris lives in the heart of Irmã Alberta “I was worried about my sister,” says 64-year-old Iris “At the time there was a plantation of eucalyptus trees that had just been cut What was my sister going to do in the middle of nowhere?”  Iris returned every week to pick up their laundry and bring clean clothes and food After two of her own children died in a tragic car crash “I needed a fresh start away from the city,” she says Iris and her husband have a lush garden where they grow acerola and “a tree the birds like.” No irrigation needed; the rains are enough Iris says she’s happy living off her garden It’s not easy to live without a sense of security Because she doesn’t officially own the land everything she’s built over the last 22 years could be gone tomorrow if SABESP changes its mind “But I think SABESP and MST will reach an agreement before the end of the year,” she says dozens of people not affiliated with MST have moved into the enclave sisters Iris and Roseãngela say they have no regrets about moving away from São Paulo and helping establish Irma Alberta The “fortress conservation” model is under pressure in East Africa as protected areas become battlegrounds over history and global efforts to halt biodiversity loss Mongabay’s Special Issue goes beyond the region’s world-renowned safaris to examine how rural communities and governments are reckoning with conservation’s colonial origins and trying to forge a path forward […] and more than 50 Brazilian artists were tasked with bringing the Rosewood São Paulo to life André Klotz/Courtesy of Rosewood Sao Paulo This story appears here courtesy of TheChurchNews.com By Mary Richards, Church News The free event opened on December 6 with members of the Church’s Brazil Area Presidency and beloved Brazilian actor and comedian Renato Aragão (also known as Didi) helping switch on the almost 500,000 lights storytellers and guides are there to share more Elder Welch is a professional organist and helped organize 45 concerts with local members Copyright 2024 Deseret News Publishing Company You are about to access Constant Contacts (http://visitor.constantcontact.com) You are now leaving a website maintained by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints We provide the link to this third party's website solely as a convenience to you and security practices that differ from those on our website By referring or linking you to this website we do not endorse or guarantee this content If you would like to stay on the page you are viewing please click Cancel To download media files, please first review and agree to the Terms of Use Download a photo or video by clicking or tapping on it To download all photos or videos related to this article select the links at the bottom of each section You are using an outdated browser.

It was 2 a.m., deep within Ó do Borogodó and a cadre of mustachioed musicians was shaking the dilapidated room with the vibrato of their instruments while onlookers swayed and cheered—cellphones recording in one hand and too-sweet caipirinhas in the other It felt like the Brazilian equivalent of watching the aurora borealis: a serendipitous almost magical collision of energy found only here and now Samba may be more generally Brazilian than specifically from São Paulo but the word borogodó is Paulistano to its core Locals could only translate it loosely for me as “messy charisma,“ “jolie-laide,“ “ugly-sexy,” “panache” or But everyone I spoke to agreed that São Paulo has borogodó aplenty the city is also the biggest metropolitan area on the continent with miles upon miles of residential high-rises that are often used to place-set futuristic movies And between the weatherworn concrete canyons is much more than just São Paulo’s famous gridlock There are beach-bodied locals that gather by the thousands to play soccer at Ibirapuera Park the city’s largest green space; twentysomethings flirting at trendy tile-clad pubs called botecos; and commuters blasting everything from bossa nova to funky brega beats from their car windows but do as the locals do and use it to hail a regular taxi—they’re usually more comfortable and slightly cheaper and can bypass traffic in special taxi-only lanes the city has an array of walkable pockets (and a gleaming safe metro to boot) But it’s a place where common sense pays dividends: Keep your cellphone and wallet safely tucked away and refrain from wandering off down obscure side streets Paulistanos discourage even a two-block post-dinner walk And as for the most borogodó things to see and do Here’s a cheat sheet to help you make the most of your visit The details you really need to know to stay in comfort Fasano Hotel São Paulo ItaimFasano is Brazil’s biggest homegrown luxury label and its OG flagship hotel—a block away from the posh boutiques on Rua Oscar Freire—is dark as a humidor just a seven-minute Uber ride away in Itaim Bibi The 20th-floor rooftop lap pool was a real highlight with its soaring metropolis views Ditto the concierge team’s can-do attitude a real boon in a country where you often need a CPF—a Brazilian social security number—to book simple things like concert tickets samba lessons or tennis court slots.Rooms from $575 The Boutique StayThe prize for most Instagrammable lobby goes to the Pulso Hotel low-slung seating and an interior garden of thriving fiddle-leaf ferns Some rooms are small—and occasionally they’re more stylish than functional (Think: cool-looking sink taps that are impossible to turn off with wet hands.) No matter You’re here to take advantage of the Pinheiros-adjacent location steps away from some of the city’s best restaurants and bars.Rooms from $420 All-Day DiningOur favorite restaurants for every meal sandwiched by breakfast at the local padaria (“bakery) and a light dinner around 8 p.m Botecos are the main cornerstone of São Paulo culture filled with live music and locals watching the day’s soccer match over beer and fried snacks the national dish of stewed meat and black beans is served only at lunch on Wednesday and Saturday (it’s too heavy to eat before bed) since São Paulo’s Italian population is the largest outside Italy You’ll see an optional 12% or 13% service fee on restaurant bills—it’s good manners to pay it ● Cora A favorite among lunching “coxipsters” (Paulistano yuppies) on weekends, Cora’s sixth-floor roof patio is a downtown oasis with sprawling city views The menu puts a Middle Eastern slant on the freshest regional produce because in addition to being heavily Italian São Paulo boasts one of the biggest Lebanese and Syrian expat communities in the world tuna drenched in sesame oil and a cauliflower steak that comes lavished in tahini and mint scallop vichyssoise and the “Bobó Tonton,” composed of succulent prawns with basmati rice grilled banana and farofa (granulated cassava meal) It’s a midday meal far tastier than more-renown options charging five times as much ● Barbacoa Summarily described by a friend as a “waterfall of meat,” Barbacoa is São Paulo’s premiere all-you-can-eat churrascaria experience For the uninitiated: These meals typically start with a salad buffet of cruise ship proportions then involve flipping coins on your table between red and green to grab the attention of apron-clad flank and sirloin with surgeonlike precision—along with the must-try cupim or “guidebook,“ to help you along.) The sprawling venue certainly hasn’t updated its decor since its founding in 1990 Evvai’s 15-course dinner cranks up the volume for every bite of its Italian-inspired menu—every mouthful is intense Case in point: a midmeal course nibble called the “scallop bomb” that’s wrapped in mandioquinha dough and fried up in duck fat for a proper explosion of flavor the open kitchen is lit like a theater in the round; the tables in its orbit are all laden with unlikely foods that range from challah to crayfish and okra (I especially loved the sea urchin dish dressed with a cardamom-spiced beet puree.) After some 10 courses guests retreat to an upstairs lounge to enjoy a smattering of petit fours and a must-try board of domestic cheeses My only reservation (pun intended) about both ● Murakami and Goya ZushiSão Paulo has the largest Japanese population outside Japan (are you sensing a theme?), which makes for great sushi. Prioritize the omakase menu with warm dishes at Murakami It’s immaculately prepared and served with a side of lively banter (in English or Portuguese) from the namesake chef He even broke out in song at one point while serving his signature temaki handroll with prawn If it’s Sunday, Paulistano pizza night, hit up Picco for the namesake pie, festooned in spicy, slippery pepperoni—this is a spot where one must seemingly have a face tattoo to be on staff. On other days, head to veggie-forward Cepa where braised cabbage slaw with almond cream pairs beautifully with a glass of Otro Vino rosé from southern Brazil Eventually, you’ll end up at Tan Tan—not to be confused with TonTon—a gastropub run by Thiago Bañares an alum of the city’s pioneering temple to Brazilian gastronomy Here he pairs approachable Asian fusion dishes like pan-fried pork gyoza and roe-topped corn fritters with genius-level tropical drinks like the vodka-based Old Passion ● ExímiaMark my words: This triplex cocktail emporium in Itaim Bibi will be Brazil’s next big phenomenon All the drinks are batched in the third-floor cocktail lab be it the rum-and-chardonnay-based Quebra-Queixo—a playful twist on a Brazilian street candy—or the Amarillys vermouth and jabuticaba (the edible fruit of the Brazilian grape tree) Sit on the first floor for a vibe that riffs off the Brazilian boteco with its signature white-checkered tile walls (many with patron’s Sharpie scribbles signatures and well wishes) or on the second floor if you prefer a sultrier Amazonian theme ● Bar e Lanches EstadãoAfter a late night out downtown, sop up the booze at the open-all-night Estadão with a sandwich so good Meg Ryan wouldn’t need to fake anything Order the sanduíche de pernil tradicional—slow-cooked pork (no cheese) significantly more delicious than anything I ate at the world-famous temple to pork arguably the city’s most famous restaurant ● Time Travel Downtown Avenida Paulista, São Paulo’s most vital artery, is a broad boulevard of wonderfully retro-futuristic skyscrapers, largely erected in a 1950s post-war boom. But it didn’t start that way. Before World War II, the street was lined with rambling European and Arabesque mansions built by a legion of coffee barons. Casa de Rosas has been turned into a museum and cultural center where lit displays on the ground floor provide a swift history lesson on the avenue’s history Follow it up with an unobstructed bird’s-eye view of the modern-day concrete canyon at the Sesc Avenida Paulista next door The 17th floor of this public-services building is accessible to all via timed tickets; check in at the second-floor lobby to get free admission then return to the ground level to take the elevator to the top ● Entertainment Superhighway What started as a soaring strip of highway built to relieve congestion in the city center in the early 1970s is still a slow-moving letting runners and yoga practitioners inhabit its 2 miles of snaking cement then follow the down-sloping exit to Santa Cécilia one of São Paulo’s most up-and-coming neighborhoods ● Beach Tennis, Sans BeachAmericans love pickleball, and Europeans have padel … Paulistanos have beach tennis—and who cares if they don’t have a real beach? They just cart sand in by the truck-full to create rectangular patches of peachy powder where finance bros (or “Faria Limers,” as they’re called here) can escape the trading floor. Arena BTG is the rare spot where you can play without a CPF card (the local form of ID) Its staff speak enough English that you can muddle through a really fun lesson (130 reais for one hour) you can’t just slide in if you’re good at regular tennis: The rules are quite different because a showroom selling patented reproductions of world-famous Brazilian furniture You may even spot some pieces pulled straight from Zalszupin’s casa Half-day guides to two walkable areas you should hit: one best seen in the morning ● Jardins This confluence of towering condos and chic boutiques around Rua Oscar Freire—São Paulo’s Rodeo Drive—is home to city’s ultra-rich Easily São Paulo’s most walkable district by a mile (both figuratively and literally) leafy Jardins is best in the late mornings when you can enjoy the city’s best padarias and primo people watching If its Saturday, try feijoada at local institution Tordesilhas salted meat by wandering a few blocks in any direction to delight in the quasi-aspirational names adorning the residential towers all around: Buckingham Misci is the city’s hottest clothing and lifestyle brand championing Brazil’s ethnic diversity (Misci is short for “miscegenation”); its muted adobe-pink flagship recently received international attention when Oprah stopped in and bought several bambolê leather handbags where the minimalist home goods are all inspired by nature ● Vila Madalena and SurroundsGrittier and more bohemian than Jardins Vila Madalena is São Paulo’s other obvious walkable area that might have you believing you’re exploring an up-and-coming neighborhood in Lisbon or Madrid Vila Madalena—along with next-door Pinheiros—is very much on the map and boasts some of the best bars and restaurants in the city But there’s plenty to see before sunset as well If you’ve never tried a slice of “Romeu e Julieta”—a truly delectable goiabada (guava preserve) cheesecake—this is the place to do it As day turns to dusk, do as the locals and post up at a boteco—De Primera Botequim is great option with colorful tiled walls. Or try Vila Madalena’s ultimate hipster hangout, Santana Bar which delivers modernist bourbon cocktails If São Paulo’s quintessential taste is the deeply stewed feijoada then its signature sound is the clacking of helicopter propellers above It’s how the city’s elite shave serious time off of their commute—especially on weekends when they’re escaping to the countryside West of the Big Smoke is Boa Vista, a luxury residential enclave built by Fasano parent company JHSF, complete with a fake beach, sprawling golf course, access to the Ipanema National Forest and, of course, a lavish Fasano hotel for guests You can get there by chopper in 30 minutes Book all of your helicopter needs with Revo which charges from $450 per person for an airport transfer One of the most compelling and functional social apparatuses in the world, SESC—Serviço Social do Comércio (pronounced “seskee” by Brazilians)—is a private not-for-profit endeavor to support workers in the goods and services industry with all of life’s needs and pleasures—medical care wellness facilities and a curriculum of arts activities It’s been a particularly successful endeavor in São Paulo are housed in gleaming architectural expressions Much of their compelling programming and infrastructure (concerts cafes—the list goes on) is also open to the general public If you have time to check out one of SESCs while you’re in town, make it SESC Pompeia a former factory that’s been converted into a community center—and wondrous brutalist masterpiece—by noted architect Lina Bo Bardi you’ll feel the real pulse of the city as you take a coffee among gossiping twentysomethings loiter on mid-mod furniture with a design magazine watch gallerinas ogle the latest art exhibitions and pass locals going for their daily swim for a detailed list of what’s on at all of the SESCs around the city Read next: Two-Night Minimum: Toronto Two passengers were removed from the aircraft after the incident I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice An American Airlines flight descended into chaos when a female passenger was thrown to the floor by a flight attendant who thought she was trying to breach the flight deck who was initially angry about the flight being delayed I’ll kick you in the balls.” She was then bundled down a business-class aisle by airline staff as a male passenger stood and shouted at her The shocking scene was filmed and shared on social media with the clip garnering over 780,000 views She screamed: “You son of a bitch – disgusting – you can’t touch me You don’t know who you’re talking to – you’re going to get screwed I went to ask why I was late and this f***** threw me out.” Another flight attendant stopped to try and calm the other angry passenger but both he and the woman at the centre of the commotion were reportedly removed from the flight The astonishing incident took place on April 24 on flight AA950 from São Paulo to New York the unnamed female passenger was confronted by flight attendants when she attempted to question a pilot about the delay as he exited the cockpit As a consequence of the commotion, the flight was delayed even further as it had to return to the gate for the passengers to be removed. The flight eventually took off two hours and 25 minutes later than its scheduled departure time, Aeroin reported. In a statement, American Airlines said: “On Thursday, April 24, American Airlines flight 950, en route from São Paulo (GRU) to New York (JFK), returned to the gate before departure due to a security issue on board. “The safety and security of our customers and team members is our top priority and we appreciate our customers’ understanding.” The Independent has contacted American Airlines for further comment.
