The Ibovespa fell 1.1% to close at 204,324 on Thursday as investors reassessed the political outlook ahead of Brazil’s presidential runoff later this month. New polls showed Flávio Bolsonaro’s lead over President Lula narrowing, tempering optimism that had fueled a rally in Brazilian assets last week after the senator unexpectedly finished ahead of Lula in the first round. Although Flávio Bolsonaro has yet to present detailed policy plans, investors view him as more likely to pursue fiscal reforms, including spending cuts, which are seen as essential to lowering interest rates. However, questions remain about the fiscal discipline of a potential Flávio administration. Political pressure has already prompted the candidate to change his position and support ending the six-days-on, one-day-off work schedule, which the Senate approved yesterday. Among the notable laggards, Itaú fell 1.3%, Banco do Brasil gained 1.8%, Axia and Petrobras each lost 1.3%, and WEG dropped 2.7%.
