FX.co ★ Brazil Mid-Month CPI Edges Up to 4.62% YoY in October, Topping September Reading

Brazil’s mid-month consumer inflation accelerated in October, with the year-over-year CPI measure rising to 4.62%, up from 4.47% in September 2026.

The data, updated on 23 October 2026, show that the pace of price increases picked up slightly on an annual basis. Both the current and previous readings are calculated as year-over-year comparisons—October 2026 versus October 2025, and September 2026 versus September 2025—highlighting a mild but continued upward drift in inflation momentum through the middle of the second half of the year.

The October uptick in Brazil’s mid-month CPI will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers, as it may signal that inflation pressures remain persistent despite the recent trajectory seen earlier in the year.
