Brazil's presidential race has moved into a runoff between Lula and Bolsonaro, according to La Nación, which is tracking the contest live. The same outlet reports that Lula has already begun working to overturn Bolsonaro's slim advantage.

Endorsements are emerging as a factor. Infobae reports that Ronaldo Caiado announced his support for Flávio Bolsonaro in the runoff and urged voters to defeat Lula.

Financial markets reacted sharply after the first round. La Nación reports that the Brazilian stock exchange jumped following the vote and examined what may lie ahead for investors.

Coverage has also turned to the political fallout beyond Brazil's borders. El Cronista reported on what it described as a political bombshell from Malamud regarding the Brazilian elections and why it drew a positive response from Kirchnerism.

The reporting so far rests on headlines and summaries rather than full articles, so the precise margins, polling figures and timetables remain unconfirmed in the available material. What is clear is that the runoff has narrowed to a two-candidate fight, with Lula seeking to erase a small deficit and Bolsonaro's camp collecting high-profile backing.

Attention now turns to whether further endorsements and new polling shift the gap before Brazilians vote again.
