Fx daily brl set to suffer on surprise lula win

外汇日报：巴西雷亚尔将因卢拉意外获胜而承压
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
ING expects Brazilian assets to sell off sharply after President Lula's surprise 51.8% run-off win, with USD/BRL gapping 5-7% higher to 5.20/25 and the Bovespa facing double-digit losses. A hawkish Fed, firm energy prices and Middle East escalation risk should keep the dollar supported; DXY seen at 101.45-101.85 today. EUR/USD upside capped at 1.1250/70 with 1.1180 support vulnerable. The zloty stays the region's weak link.

Key arguments
- Lula's surprise run-off win should trigger an immediate Brazilian asset sell-off, with fiscal pledges replacing prospective consolidation.
- Dollar stays supported by firm energy prices, Middle East escalation risk and a hawkish Fed, barring weak US tech earnings.
- EUR/USD carries a 1-2% risk premium; France's rating relief is temporary absent budget progress.
- EUR/PLN has further upside after breaking 4.400, while a hawkish CNB should pull EUR/CZK back to 24.250-24.300.
Key numbers
- Lula run-off vote share
- 51.8%

- DXY range today
