Brazil
Brazil’s presidential election on 26 Oct 2026 saw incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva win the runoff, while Flávio Bolsonaro lost. The Ibovespa index fell 14 % on Monday, its worst drop since 2020, as the real sank over 8 % against the dollar—the largest daily gain since 1999. Corporate‑client trading on the crypto platform Mercado Bitcoin surged: 78 % of the day’s volume came from corporate accounts, with Tether (USDT) volume rising nearly 800 % and Bitcoin volume climbing 865 %. USDC and USDT turnover reached 1.84 billion reais ($350 m); Bitcoin trading rose nine‑fold to 1,336 BTC. Companies used stablecoins to hedge currency risk amid the real’s weakness. Lula’s win, noted for increased social spending and a ban on online betting, heightened concerns over fiscal sustainability and further pressured the real.
