Banks will not provide in-person service this Thursday, June 4, due to the Corpus Christi holiday, and B3 will suspend trading in all markets — stocks, real estate funds, derivatives and private fixed income. Banking clearances, including TED transfers, are also suspended, but Pix continues operating 24 hours.

On Friday, June 5, banks and the stock exchange resume normal operations in locations where there is no state or municipal holiday. Bills and utility bills due on Thursday can be paid without surcharge on the next business day, but taxes and duties must be paid in advance to avoid interest and fines.
