Brazilian stocks and the real surged after Flávio Bolsonaro led the first-round presidential vote, with markets repositioning ahead of the October runoff.
Brazil’s Bovespa surged more than 7.7% to a record close after the first-round election result surprised markets. The real also posted its strongest daily gain in four years.
The question now is whether markets are pricing the winner or the fiscal arithmetic that any winner will inherit, and whether the gap between the two is as wide as the campaign rhetoric suggests. #Brazil2026 #BrazilianReal #EmergingMarkets

The index slipped below 185,500 as political risk pressured banks and the real, outweighing positive cues from Wall Street.
