From the last article, if Cardoso does not win a 1st round victory, the election will not be resolved until 10/27. It would not matter that he would win in the 2nd round. The delay in policy implementation and the lack of a clear mandate after a 2nd round victory would be enough to punish TBR severely (read that mid 50s again) due to heightened risk of continued high rates causing severe recession next year or worse, a devaluation.

The moral of the story: Root for a 1st round win if you are long TBR.

Very significant piece of information from article:
"Direct investors are still moving ahead in Brazil, where the consumer market is, by some measures, even bigger than China's."
