The dominant feeling is that certain contenders are not favored to secure the party’s backing. Meanwhile, in Brazil, the contest for the top office shows a split, with a slight edge given to one challenger while others lag behind. The mood is strengthening for the leading figure and fading for the rest.

Geopolitical expectations also reflect a mixed picture.
