    • BOLSONARO'S PARTY CONFIRMS REQUEST TO ANNUL VOTES IN ELECTION (BBG)

  • Overall, Ibovespa futures are little changed as market participants continue to await details on President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s future cabinet and a bill that would exclude some social expenditure from the cap on fiscal spending.
  • Late on Tuesday, Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco told journalists that a proposal to remove the Bolsa Familia social program from Brazil’s spending cap rule indefinitely won’t win congressional support.
