Domestic political uncertainty in Brazil (potential Flávio Bolsonaro candidacy) creates market volatility and reduces investor confidence in fiscal reform prospects. This reflects broader Latin American concerns about political fragmentation and economic governance. U.S. monetary policy signals continue to influence Brazilian asset valuations, maintaining asymmetric dependency.
