# Source Document Not Available

The source document for the Brazil Foreign Direct Investment (February 2026) release could not be retrieved.

**Reason:** 
1. **Technical Limitation:** The Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) website is a Single Page Application (SPA) that does not serve content to non-JavaScript clients like `curl`. Attempting to access the press release landing page returned a boilerplate HTML template with a "JavaScript required" notice.
2. **Resource Not Found:** Guessed direct PDF URLs based on standard BCB naming conventions (e.g., `external_sector_statistics`) returned HTTP 404.
3. **API Failure:** The Perplexity Search API, intended for resolving the exact URL, returned an `HTTP 401 Unauthorized` error, preventing automated discovery of the direct download link.

**Indicators requested:**
- Foreign Direct Investment (BR): 6.75B (Actual) vs 7.6B (Forecast)
