FX.co ★ Brazil’s Producer Prices Accelerate in April, PPI Rises to 2.63% Month-on-Month

Brazil’s Producer Price Index (PPI) strengthened in April 2026, with the month-on-month rate climbing to 2.63%, up from 2.37% in March 2026, according to data updated on 28 May 2026. The figures indicate a pickup in price pressures at the producer level as the second quarter gets under way.

On a month-over-month basis, April’s “actual” change of 2.63% is compared with March’s “previous” gain of 2.37%, which itself reflected the change from February to March. The acceleration suggests that input and output prices faced by Brazilian producers continued to rise, and did so at a slightly faster pace than in the prior month.

While the data are limited to headline PPI levels, the continued upward movement is likely to be closely watched by policymakers and investors, as sustained producer price increases can signal pipeline pressures for consumer inflation and may influence expectations for Brazil’s monetary and fiscal outlook.
