Brazil fixed income pricing debate ahead of runoff; scenarios hinge on fiscal delivery

Brazilian asset managers are split on whether the first-round election result is fully priced into fixed income, with divergent scenarios for interest rates depending on the second-round outcome and fiscal policy follow-through. The debate centers on how much of Flávio's victory is already reflected in yields, and what the second round implies for rates. This matters because the market's pricing of fiscal risk will drive Brazilian yield curve movements and cross-asset flows.
