Brazilian equities edged higher on a supportive external backdrop, with fresh election polls and a firmer currency tone adding to the mix, though heavyweight commodity names slipped and weighed on the index.

The market's pulse still hinges on the election calendar and fiscal headlines, but the softer rate path is keeping the overall backdrop calmer.
