FX.co ★ Brazil’s Mid-Month CPI Nearly Doubles in April, Signaling Rising Price Pressures

Brazil’s mid-month consumer inflation accelerated sharply in April 2026, with the Mid-Month CPI rising to 0.89% month-over-month, up from 0.44% in March 2026. The data, updated on 28 April 2026, indicate that price pressures strengthened notably at the start of the second quarter.

On a month-over-month comparison basis, April’s reading shows that the pace of inflation has effectively doubled relative to the previous month’s move. While March’s 0.44% increase already marked a positive change versus February, the 0.89% print in April underscores a steepening inflation trajectory. Investors and policymakers will be closely watching whether this faster momentum in mid-month prices persists in the coming months, as it could influence expectations for monetary policy and broader economic conditions in Brazil.
