  "account": "On Thursday, Brazil's main stock index, Ibovespa, declined 1.15% to close at 204,120 points. Investors were cautious ahead of Sunday's presidential runoff and a global sell-off in technology shares. The Brazilian real weakened slightly by 0.40% against the US dollar. A recent poll indicated a tight race between Flávio Bolsonaro and Luiz Inácio Lula, with both at around 45%. The drop in the Ibovespa was broad but not extreme, while the real's decline was smaller than the equity market's sell-off. Analysts suggest that the market is experiencing nervousness due to both the election outcome and global market trends rather than a panic.",
