Brazil election rally boosts hedge funds

Hedgeweek reports that Brazilian hedge fund managers who anticipated a strong first-round performance by right-wing presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro are adjusting their derivatives positions after a sharp rally in local markets. Ace Capital, Vista Capital and Legacy Capital were among the strongest performers on Monday after Bolsonaro finished approximately two percentage points ahead of incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the first round of voting. The result triggered a surge in Brazilian equities and the real, alongside a sharp decline in interest-rate swap contracts.
