Stocks at Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) fell by 7.92 percent this week.

On Friday, Bovespa benchmark index was down 2.64 percent, reaching 42,369 points. According to Bovespa press office, 4.48 billion reais (2.11 billion U.S. dollars) were negotiated in the Brazilian stock market on Friday.

On Tuesday, Bovespa registered its biggest fall in five years, 6.63 percent. As tension became global, threats of economic recession in the United States and a rise in the price for the Japanese yen contributed to another significant fall on Thursday and on Friday.

Brazil's Minister of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade Luiz Fernando Furlan said on Friday that the crisis can represent a good opportunity of investment in assets of Brazilian companies, which were not affected by the turbulence in the international market.
