"While waiting for the result of the Uruguay and Ghana match it was difficult," said goalscorer Hwang, whose heroics earned him man of the match honours. Portugal topped the group but the Koreans edged out Uruguay on the second tiebreak - number of goals scored. It marks only the third time that South Korea have made it to the round of 16 and they will be determined to try to match their best result - reaching the semi-finals at home in 2002. "I cannot compare because I did not know the Korean team back in 2002," said assistant coach Sergio Costa.

☆ Fiscal developments affect Brazil's central bank decisions through balance of risks, says director
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

BRASILIA, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Brazilian central bank director Diogo Guillen said on Tuesday that markets are more sensitive to fiscal news and that fiscal developments enter into policymakers' decisions through the balance of risks for inflation. Speaking at an event hosted by JP Morgan, Guillen, the economic policy director, said that in the short run, the central bank analyzes how fiscal stimuli will impact activity and how this will translate into more inflation. The package has left the market apprehensive amid the lack of commitments regarding public expense control, which could ultimately push Brazil's debt to record levels and force a monetary policy shift. Guillen said fiscal policies may impact the Brazilian currency, change expectations and directly affect inflation through expenditures. That suggests that inflation will fall to around the official target despite being still high, he signaled, stressing that the central bank will do whatever is necessary to accomplish that goal.

For a Portugal whose World Cup narrative has so far been crafted by the controversy and brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo, the night belonged to Fernandes, who shone throughout and always looked threatening. The win was the third time at a World Cup that Portugal have won two successive group stage matches, and the previous two times led to streaks into the semi-finals. Fernandes played down talk of his starring role and said his focus was the next match against South Korea and getting a perfect nine points for Portugal. "Our objective is to think match after match and we have to do our best because we obviously want to win all the matches." Portugal were dangerous on the approach and controlled both flanks, with Bernardo Silva, Fernandes and an industrious Joao Felix combining well and each frustrated in their efforts to put Portugal ahead.

BRASILIA, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank believes rate cuts from June 2023 would be compatible with bringing inflation in line with its target in 2024 based on market forecasts, the bank's director of international affairs, Fernanda Guardado, said on Thursday. "I want to reinforce that it is not our focus now (to discuss the) timing of rate cuts. According to the director, the central bank calculates that inflation in 12 months will be around the 3% official target in the second quarter of 2024, ending that year around this level. In October, the central bank held interest rates at a 13.75% cycle-high for the second straight policy decision. Policymakers paused the tightening cycle in September after 12 hikes lifted rates from a 2% record low in March 2021.

Un bărbat riscă să piardă 236 de milioane de dolari în Bitcoin, dacă mai greșește parola de acces de două oriOdată cu cele mai recente prețuri ale Bitcoin, apare un fenomen nefericit: oamenii care au acumulat mari averi în criptomonedă își dau seama că au pierdut de mult parolele pentru portofelele lor digitale criptate. „Chiar și investitorii pricepuți au fost complet incapabili să își gestioneze în vreun fel datele de acces”, a declarat Diogo Monica, cofondatorul startup-ului de securitate criptografică Anchorage pentru aceeași publicație. Pentru Thomas și alții în situația sa, a avea milioane de dolari, dar să nu îi ai, de fapt, la îndemână propriu-zis, a distrus întreaga idee a monedei descentralizate precum Bitcoin. „Toată această idee de a fi propria ta bancă – permiteți-mi să spun așa:„ Îți faci proprii pantofi?
