Brazilian Stocks to Buy After Lula's Election Win

invezz.com (Dutch) —

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil's presidential runoff on Sunday with 51.8% of valid votes, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, triggering a sharp market selloff as investors had positioned for the opposite outcome. Brazilian stocks plunged on political fears of state intervention, but Petrobras, Vale, and Itaú Unibanco appear positioned for recovery. Petrobras offers visible dividends despite fuel-price concerns, while Vale benefits from a weaker real and Itaú's fundamentals remain solid despite a 24% drop. Bolsonaro has not conceded, and the Ibovespa had hit a record close on October 5 after his first-round lead. Key risks include fuel-price intervention, rising credit losses, and Chinese demand for iron ore.
