The Ibovespa led world losses amid a surge in volume that whipsawed trading after presidential candidate Eduardo Campos died in a plane crash. The real slid.

He was in a plane built to hold nine passengers that crashed in Sao Paulo state today following an aborted landing because of bad weather, the air force said in a statement. Campos, who was polling in third place ahead of the October elections, was flying to an event in the city of Guaruja at the time, according to O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper.
