Bovespa heads into Tuesday after closing on October 26, 2026 at 176,608 points, down 28,474 points or 13.9 percent. The decline followed Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's reelection and a circuit breaker after the index fell 10 percent, Reuters reported.

The Brazilian real fell sharply during the session, while export-focused shares helped limit the index's loss. The dollar gained 8.2 percent, and only eight Bovespa stocks finished higher, G1 reported.

Why did Bovespa suffer a 13.9 percent plunge?

The election result overturned market expectations and prompted a broad repricing of Brazilian assets. Bovespa fell more than 10 percent soon after the open, triggering a 30-minute trading halt. It later reached a session low of 169,516 points before recovering into the close, CNN Brasil reported.

Winners and losers in Bovespa

Winners and losers for the October 26 session, according to Investing.com:

Suzano up 10.1 percent: the exporter benefited from the weaker real.

Magazine Luiza down 58.2 percent: domestic consumption stocks faced intense selling.
