Voting for the second round of the Brazilian presidential election has begun today. It is expected that in this round, 'Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,' a leftist leader in Brazil, will achieve a decisive victory.

He based his campaign on promises to improve social services, revive the economy, and create jobs. However, investors are concerned about his potential mismanagement of the economy and Brazil's large foreign debts if he is elected. President Cardoso, the current president of Brazil, will hand over power to the new president on January 1st.
