Brazil Stocks Have 'More to Gain Than to Lose' Into Oct. 4 Vote, Fund Manager Says

An emerging-market fund manager says in an Oct. 2 MarketWatch report that Brazilian stocks have "more to gain than to lose" into the Oct. 4 first-round vote. A stronger-than-polled showing by Flavio Bolsonaro could trigger a sharp rally. I'm wary of such timing calls — with polls this tight, an upside skew is still a gamble on runoff math, not certainty.
