Brazil market2026-10-26 07:56:36Analyst says any sharp sell-off in Brazil after Lula win could be a buying opportunityGavekal Research analyst Rohan Daswani said investors should consider buying a potential sell-off in Brazilian markets after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s unexpected victory over Jair Bolsonaro. He said the market had already priced in expectations of a Bolsonaro win and tighter fiscal discipline, which could now unwind as those positions are closed. In his view, that does not change the broader case for Brazil. Daswani said the structural reasons for staying constructive on the country remain in place. He pointed to unusually high nominal and real interest rates, Brazil’s large exposure to commodities, and its growing importance in critical mineral supply chains. He also argued that Brazil’s Congress is materially more conservative than the president, a factor he said limits the room for a major leftward shift in economic policy.

Brazil2026-10-04 05:57:06Brazil election outcome may shape crypto policy as vote nearsBrazil’s presidential election, scheduled for Oct. 4, could influence the direction of crypto policy in what the report described as the world’s top country for crypto adoption. The race pits incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, referred to in the source as Lula, against Flavio Bolsonaro, son of a former president. According to Bitcoin.com News, a Lula victory could bring tighter regulation and stricter compliance requirements for the crypto sector. The report said Brazil’s central bank has already stepped up oversight of exchanges, and a tax on stablecoin transactions, previously put on hold because of the election, could move forward again. By contrast, Flavio Bolsonaro’s position on crypto remains unclear. The report said there is no record showing that he has publicly mentioned cryptocurrencies. It also noted that he had previously defended a person linked to the "Bitcoin Pharaoh" pyramid scheme. The election result is being watched for its potential impact on the country’s next phase of crypto rulemaking.780
