Wall Street closes session in positive territory

SAPO Notícias11 September 2026 at 21:39

Wall Street closed the session in positive territory. The main American stock indices posted gains at the end of the week.

However, despite the gains recorded on Friday, Wall Street closed one of the most turbulent weeks for the American economy in recent times.

The three main American stock indices - Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq - posted weekly declines, reflecting the instability experienced over the past few days.

This turbulent week comes in a context of growing concern about the United States economy, which faced significant pressures during this period.

Food VAT: reform rather than patch up

The article defends a deep reform of food VAT instead of patchwork solutions, arguing that food is a basic need and not a luxury, and should therefore be treated differently by fiscal policy. The text warns that the current food VAT system is too complex and unfair, penalizing the most vulnerable consumers and contributing to inequality in access to healthy food. Proponents of this reform propose a simplification of rates and greater transparency in the application of the tax, ensuring that the tax burden does not compromise the food quality of Portuguese families.
