FX.co ★ Brazil’s Thomson Reuters IPSOS PCSI Slips in February, Signalling Softer Consumer Sentiment

Brazil’s Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) weakened in February 2026, pointing to a cooling in consumer confidence. The index declined to 52.68, down from 55.14 in January 2026.

The pullback suggests Brazilian consumers have turned more cautious as the year progresses, with sentiment slipping but still remaining above the neutral 50-point threshold. The latest figures, updated on 11 February 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers for early indications of how household confidence may shape Brazil’s economic momentum in the coming months.
