Brazil 2026: Election results and shifting economic outlook

Overview

By late October 2026, Brazil’s economic and political landscape is navigating the aftermath of the first round of presidential elections and shifting inflationary trends. Following the first round, which mobilized approximately 158.7 million voters, retail footfall saw a significant decline, dropping 55.6% on election day compared to the previous year. Conversely, agribusiness stocks experienced a surge, with companies like Camil (CAML3) rising 25.22% as investors adjusted to potential policy shifts.

Market volatility remains a primary concern. The S&P/B3 Ibovespa VIX reached a record high of 33.21 points. Following the reelection of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, analysts anticipate short-term pressure on the Ibovespa and a rising US dollar as investors reprice fiscal risks. Bradesco BBI has reduced its recommendation for Brazilian equities from overweight to neutral, noting that the MSCI Brazil index is now trading at 9.3 times expected earnings. Concerns persist regarding public debt growth and the president’s lack of a congressional majority.

Inflationary data shows signs of deceleration. The October IPCA-15 rose by 0.32%, down from 0.70% in September and below the median market projection of 0.44%. While the 12-month accumulated inflation of 4.62% remains above the government’s 4.5% tolerance limit, the slowdown—driven by falling airfares and electricity costs—may support continued Selic rate cuts. However, food prices remain a pressure point, with significant spikes in tomatoes (24.54%) and onions (13.63%).

Long-term outlooks from the IMF suggest Brazil is projected to return to the position of the world's eighth-largest economy by 2027, with a GDP of approximately US$ 2.8 trillion, potentially surpassing Italy and Russia. Public sentiment is also shifting; a Datafolha survey indicates 60% of respondents expect the national economy to improve over the next six months.
