The index opened flat, reached 209,522.60, then fell below Monday's record close as investors awaited Brazil's trade-balance data.

Bovespa traded at 205,376.46 points at 11:26 a.m. BRT on October 6, 2026, after opening at 206,924.61 and reaching an intraday high of 209,522.60. The index turned lower after Monday's record election-driven rally, according to O Povo.

Course of the session

The benchmark opened 0.01 percent above Monday's close of 206,911.89 points, briefly extended gains to its new intraday high, and then fell through 205,000 points. The session low was 204,832.36 points at the time cited by the publication.

Election rally gives way to profit-taking

Monday's 7.70 percent gain followed the first round of Brazil's presidential election, in which right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro finished ahead of incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The two candidates are scheduled to meet in a runoff on October 25, Reuters reported via Daily Maverick.

The previous session's move was the Bovespa's largest daily rise since March 2020 and lifted the index above 200,000 points for the first time, according to The Rio Times.

Trade balance ahead

Brazil's September trade balance is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. BRT on October 6. The consensus calls for a surplus of USD 7.19 billion, compared with USD 7.39 billion previously, according to The Rio Times.
