Brazil’s consumer price inflation eased in April 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.67% month-over-month, down from a 0.88% increase in March 2026. The data, updated on 12 May 2026, indicate a moderation in short-term price pressures after a stronger monthly advance in the previous period.
On a month-over-month basis, the April reading shows that while prices continued to climb, the pace of increase slowed compared with March. The previous figure reflected a 0.88% change from February to March, whereas the latest 0.67% print measures the change from March to April. This deceleration may signal some cooling in inflation momentum, a development that markets and policymakers will be watching closely as they assess the trajectory of Brazilian prices in the coming months.
