Post Olympics what to expect from Brazil!

Olympic Games Rio 2016 comes to an end with US, UK, China at the top rank of the table and India managing to get 2 medals – definitely a proud moment for the country.

It is said and believed that Olympics results into lot of economic activity around the country and helps in stimulating country’s economic growth led by tourism and other technological development to manage the entire event.

Brazil had not been preferred destination and the correction that started in 2008 is still ongoing.

Out of the BRIC nations it seems only Indian markets have lived upto the expectations to some extent post 2008 and rest other nations have failed miserably. This is another reason why we think the ………..

Olympic Games Rio 2016 now comes to an end. Let us see if the blue channel that has worked so well for Bovespa continues to act as resistance irrespective of the event!
