Ibovespa dropped on Friday, ending a four-week winning streak, pressured by declines in Santander, Vale, and Petrobras as oil prices fell. A Datafolha poll showing a technical tie between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro in a potential runoff adds political uncertainty, though the market impact is secondary to commodity and blue-chip moves.
Brazil's Ibovespa has declined, ending a four-week winning streak, primarily driven by rising global interest rates and domestic electoral uncertainty. Blue-chip companies, including Vale and Bradesco, led losses, reflecting a risk-off sentiment in Brazilian equities. The market impact of political uncertainty, while present, is secondary to commodity and blue-chip movements.
