Candidates on the left, who investors fear would backtrack on efforts to shore up Brazil’s fiscal accounts, were the only ones who gained support at a level that exceeded the margin of error in a Datafolha poll released last night.

Brazilian stocks led gains in Latin America after state-controlled oil company Petróleo Brasileiro SA reported a larger-than-expected jump in quarterly net profit.
