Yes that’s true. But in contrast to Lat Am, this isn’t a populist radical leftist group looking for massive sociopolitical reform vs the forces of conservativism, it’s a centre left elected party against an unpopular president with a wafer thin majority playing the anti-communism card like it’s still the 1960s-1980s. It’s worrying that enough of the armed forces buy into his anti-communist rhetoric, but I don’t think the financial markets expect anything significant to change in terms of economic policy regardless who wins out the current impasse.
Personally I think that’s a pretty worrying sign for how much would have continued as normal if Jan 6 had been successful (and Trump’s economic policies a bit closer to the mainstream).
