Banco do Brasil shares surge 13% as Bolsonaro leads first round

Brazilian state-owned bank Banco do Brasil (BBAS3) jumped 13% after first-round election results showed Flávio Bolsonaro leading Lula by about 2 percentage points. The market is pricing in reduced political risk and potential privatization or improved governance under a Bolsonaro administration. The lead is narrow, and a second round remains likely, so the rally may be partially speculative.
