Latin America's biggest stock market jumps 7.7% to a record as the real gains 4% after Flávio Bolsonaro leads

Brazil's Ibovespa, the benchmark of the São Paulo exchange, closed up 7.70% at a record 206,912 points on Monday 5 October. It was the index's first close above 200,000 and its biggest one-day gain since 24 March 2020. The real also gained about 4% against the dollar. The move followed Sunday's first round, in which Flávio Bolsonaro won 47.0% of valid votes to President Lula's 45.2%, although almost all polls had Lula ahead. For US investors, the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ) rose 12.5% to US$42.98, and the Petrobras ADR gained 11.5% to US$24.14. Whether the rally survives the three weeks to the 25 October runoff is the open question.
