Brazilian future rates plunge, hit oscillation limits as Bolsonaro leads Lula in first round

The market is pricing an increased probability of an opposition victory, which investors interpret as a shift toward more market-friendly fiscal policy. The result is preliminary and a second round is likely, leaving the final outcome uncertain.
