## Lula's Re-election Shock
Brazilian stocks plunged after Lula's unexpected re-election victory, as markets had priced in a Flávio Bolsonaro win.
## Economic Uncertainty Rises
Brazil's growing public debt and persistent fiscal deficits raise concerns about another four years of economic instability.
## Market Pressure Intensifies
A weaker Brazilian real and sharply higher interest rates could further pressure Brazilian equities and their valuations.
## EWZ Faces Downside Risks
EWZS faces greater downside risks than EWZ, as small-cap companies are more exposed to domestic growth and borrowing costs.
## Key takeaway

Brazilian stocks dropped sharply after Lula's unexpected re-election victory, raising fears of economic instability and higher borrowing costs.
