AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoElection Fallout: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won a historic fourth term with 51.79% of the vote, but Flávio Bolsonaro is seeking to annul the result. US President Donald Trump also called the election “rigged” without offering evidence; Brazil’s vice president rejected the claim. Market Shock: Brazilian stocks plunged, with the Ibovespa down as much as 17% and trading halted after Lula’s win. The real fell sharply as investors focused on deficits and borrowing costs. Finance Minister Dario Durigan says the government will target a higher primary surplus next year and seek to anchor its fiscal goal at the midpoint. Amazon Pledge: Lula has vowed to keep cutting deforestation and reach zero by 2030, but the Amazon remains under pressure, and his victory faces a right-leaning Congress and a divided country.
