A Hyperliquid perpetual tied to Brazil's largest US listed equity ETF plunged as much as 27% before traditional markets reopened, anticipating a historic selloff in Brazilian stocks. Brazilian stocks suffered their steepest selloff in decades on Monday following President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s surprise reelection. A Hyperliquid perpetual contract linked to the country’s largest US listed equity fund had already signaled the decline before traditional markets opened. Brazil’s benchmark Ibovespa index fell as much as 17.34% , marking its sharpest daily percentage decline since 1998, as the B3 exchange triggered a circuit breaker that temporarily halted trading.
