Brazil Election Results: Good for the Real

Brazilian elections proved all the polls wrong. Two days befoere elections day and same day polls showed Lula's candidate leading with 51% of the votes, with a margin of error of +-2%.

Final result was:

• Dilma Roussef, 45.9% (47.6M votes)
• Jose Serra, 32.61% (33.1M votes)
• Marina Silva, 19.33% (19.6M votes)

The runoff will be held at the end of October featuring Rousseff vs Serra.. It is very unlikely that the Brazilian central bank will touhc intrrest rates in this period.
