July inflation in Brazil down more than expected -FGV
The General Price Index-Domestic Availability (IGP-DI) fell 0.38% in July from June. The decline was above market estimates. The median of the projections indicates a decrease of 0.18% in the month.
The FGV (Getúlio Vargas Foundation) announced the result on Friday (5).
The IGP-DI measures price fluctuations from agricultural and industrial commodities to consumer goods and services. In June, it was still up 0.62%. In July, it was 1.45%.
The index has reached a high of 7.44% this year. Within 12 months, it increased by 9.13%.
The coordinator of FGV price indices, André Braz, said that the decline in commodity prices such as iron ore (-12.94%), soybeans (-2.27%), and corn (-4.98%) explains the slowdown in commodity inflation.
The IGP-DI is composed of other sub-indices. The broad producer price index (IPA) fell 0.32% in July. In June, the rate increased by 0.44%.
The consumer price index (IPC) rose 1.19% in July. In June, it had increased by 0.68%. Transportation prices fell 4.81% due to measures to reduce fuel prices.
The national construction cost index (INCC) rose 0.86% in July. Compared to June, when it peaked at 2.14%, the increase slowed down.
