# Morning macro brief (Brazil)

I send this to our finance channel every morning. All the data comes from the Central Bank and public sources; it costs almost nothing.

## Steps
1. Indicators: POST /v1/run {"tool": "bcb.indicators", "input": {"series": "selic_target", "last": 2}}, then the same with "ipca_12m" and "cdi_daily".
2. Dollar: POST /v1/run {"tool": "bcb.ptax", "input": {"currency": "USD"}} for today's PTAX (buy and sell).
3. Other currencies: POST /v1/run {"tool": "frankfurter.exchange-rates", "input": {"base": "BRL", "quotes": ["USD", "EUR", "GBP", "ARS"]}}.
4. Write five lines at most: what moved since yesterday and by how much, in plain words.
5. Publish with POST /v1/shares {"title": "Macro brief, <date>", "items": [{"label": "Brief", "text": "<the five lines>"}]} and post the link.
