Three SP-team fixtures all on Sunday May 10

No SP-side fixtures Friday or Saturday; the entire weekend football slate lands Sunday. Remo x Palmeiras kicks off 16h at the Mangueirão (Globo, Premiere, getv): the leader (33 points, nine games unbeaten) visits the bottom-of-table Remo (11 points). Then a double 18h30 kickoff: Santos x RB Bragantino at the Vila Belmiro (Premiere) for Cuca’s Peixe at 15 points, fresh off Tuesday’s 1–1 in Paraguay; and Corinthians x São Paulo (the Majestoso) at the Neo Química Arena (Premiere, Record, CazéTV). Corinthians enter at 15 points (in the Z4 after Sunday’s 1–2 at Mirassol, Diniz’s first defeat, and Wednesday’s altitude-affected 1–1 at Santa Fe in Bogotá). São Paulo arrive at 24 points and 4th place after the 2–2 with Bahia.

Setor Oeste Inferior closed by STJD ruling

The Sunday Majestoso runs with an unusual capacity constraint per the Corinthians ticket release. The Setor Oeste Inferior is closed for the match, fulfilling an STJD punishment after a Corinthians fan committed a racist act against Palmeiras goalkeeper Carlos Miguel earlier in the season; the original sentence of one home-match without crowd was reduced to closing the single sector for one match. Minha Cadeira plan members are reassigned to Leste Superior Corner, Leste Superior Lateral, Leste Superior Central, and Leste Inferior Lateral at no additional cost. Face-value tickets run R$80 to R$280 with Fiel Torcedor discounts; the Fiel Torcedor site is the only official platform (biometric facial validation required). The Paulistão Round 3 reverse fixture in January ended 1–1 (Tapia 37’/1T for São Paulo, Breno Bidon 44’/2T for Corinthians).

Thursday’s session reversed Wednesday’s rally. Per Times Brasil/CNBC, the Ibovespa fell 2.32% to close at 183,339 points as Bradesco‘s Q1 release disappointed market expectations and Petrobras tracked Brent’s drop. Bradesco’s headline recurring net income of R$6.81 billion did beat the R$6.68 billion consensus on a number basis, but analysts focused on credit-quality concerns and the relative-value gap to Itaú. The dollar firmed marginally to R$4.9241 from Wednesday’s R$4.91 multi-year low (per ICE). Brent crude collapsed 7.8% Wednesday to $101 on Axios’s report of a US-Iran 14-point memorandum of understanding; WTI fell 7% to $95.

The technical picture sharpened. Per the Rio Times’ Morning Call, the Ibovespa decisively reclaimed the Kijun at 187,197 on Wednesday, closing 494 points above as a formal recovery signal. Thursday’s 2.32% reversal pushed the index back below the Kijun and toward the April 29 panic low at 184,504. Resistance now reads 185,600 then 186,762 then 187,197; support sits at 184,504 (panic low) and 161,560 (200-day SMA). The MERVAL surged 4.42% Wednesday on the Iran deal hopes and gave back portion of the gain Thursday. The S&P 500 hit an ATH 7,365 Wednesday; the Nasdaq printed 25,839.

President Lula met President Trump bilaterally Thursday morning at the White House; markets ignored the meeting per Times Brasil. The April IPC-Fipe slowed to 0.40% MoM from 0.59% in March, releasing earlier this week as a mild deceleration and a modestly dovish read for Copom. Petrobras 1Q financial results land Monday May 11 after market close, with the webcast Tuesday May 12. The next Focus survey lands Monday; the next Copom meeting is June 17–18. Bradesco’s HQ in Cidade de Deus, Osasco metropolitan SP holds the analyst videoconference today.

Sat May 9: Pinacoteca free Saturday 10h–18h. Avenida Paulista Aberta 9h–17h car-free. MASP paid 10h–18h. 27°C, 10% rain.

Sun May 10: Frente fria — 17°C, 65% rain. Brasileirão R15 triple: Remo x Palmeiras 16h Mangueirão; Santos x RB Bragantino 18h30 Vila Belmiro; Corinthians x São Paulo 18h30 Neo Química (the Majestoso).

Mon May 11: Petrobras 1Q financial results after market close. Next Focus survey released. Rodízio plates 1 and 2.

The Ibovespa fell 2.32% to close at 183,339 points on Thursday May 7, reversing Wednesday’s rally above 188,000. Per Times Brasil/CNBC, two factors drove the move: Bradesco’s Q1 release disappointed market expectations on credit-quality and relative-value grounds despite headline recurring net income of R$6.81 billion beating consensus, and Petrobras tracked Brent’s drop after Wednesday’s 7.8% crash to $101 on the Axios-reported US-Iran 14-point memorandum of understanding. The dollar firmed marginally to R$4.9241. President Lula’s bilateral meeting with President Trump in the morning was ignored by markets.

Corinthians host São Paulo at the Neo Química Arena in Itaquera on Sunday May 10 at 18h30 BRT for Brasileirão Round 15. The match streams on Premiere with broadcast on Record and CazéTV. Corinthians enter at 15 points in the relegation zone after Sunday’s 1–2 defeat at Mirassol; São Paulo arrive at 24 points and 4th. The Setor Oeste Inferior is closed by STJD ruling after a racism incident against Palmeiras goalkeeper Carlos Miguel earlier in the season. Tickets run R$80–R$280 with Fiel Torcedor discounts; biometric facial validation required.

On Fridays, vehicles with license plates ending in 9 and 0 are restricted from circulating inside the Centro Expandido between 7h–10h and 17h–20h, per CET. The Centro Expandido is delimited by the Marginal Tietê, Marginal Pinheiros, Avenida Bandeirantes, and Avenida Salim Farah Maluf. The fine is R$130.16 plus four points on the Carteira Nacional de Habilitação. The cycle restarts Monday with plates 1 and 2, then Tuesday 3 and 4, Wednesday 5 and 6, Thursday 7 and 8. Electric and hybrid vehicles registered in São Paulo are exempt.

A frente fria pushes through São Paulo Saturday night, dropping Sunday’s high to 17°C with a 65% rain probability, a 10°C drop from Saturday’s 27°C and the sharpest single-day temperature break of the autumn so far. The Sunday Majestoso at the Neo Química Arena (kickoff 18h30) lands directly inside the cold-rain window. Monday recovers partially to 21°C with 15% rain. Bring proper layers and a waterproof for Sunday matchday and outdoor commitments. The next clear-and-warm window returns midweek per the Open-Meteo and ECMWF model consensus.
