Even now, after reducing his position, Druckenmiller holds 2.4 million EWZ shares valued at $119 million, constituting Duquesne\u2019s ninth-largest holding.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian real also followed suit, showing a strong performance against the U.S. dollar. The real rose nearly 5% against the U.S. currency as markets anticipate strong fiscal measures following a Bolsonaro-expected victory in the October 25 runoff, with these gains holding near 4% at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Grills, Head \u200bof Emerging Market Debt at Aegon Asset Management, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/brazil-investor-analyst-reactions-bolsonaro-lead-over-lula-election-2026-10-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Reuters<\/a> that fiscal constraint will be more likely if Bolsonaro wins, which is what Brazil needs according to his assessment. Nonetheless, he warned that markets should wait for second-round results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to be cautious, because what we have learned is voter intentions are hard to predict, and it\u2019s difficult to draw a conclusion from a first-round result,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Haugaard, portfolio manager for emerging market hard currency debt at Janus Henderson Investors, assumed a similar stance. \u201cWe see a strong potential for Brazil to stabilize its credit rating in the case of a Bolsonaro win, but only expect to gain clarity when we have the final outcome \u2060of the \u200bsecond round,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Bolsonaro\u2019s right-wing position is expected to draw in most voters who supported candidates that failed to advance to the runoff, extending his lead. Prediction markets platforms, which are <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/brazil-issues-ban-on-non-financial-prediction-market-contracts\/\">banned in Brazil<\/a>, <a
