Brazil presidential front-runner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva eschewed the idea of relying on an economist to communicate with markets, saying he will speak directly with investors on plans for a potential third term.

“Markets need to talk with the presidential candidate”, he said Tuesday in a interview on a local radio station. “When I’ll have interest, I’ll talk to the market.”
