Consumer confidence in Brazil rose to 84.7 in October 2026 from 84.2 in September, the first increase after five consecutive monthly declines and matching the August level. Households’ expectations improved (88.0 vs 85.2), driven by the intention to purchase durable goods (75.5 vs 72.3), future family financial situation (86.9 vs 83.9) and future local economic situation (103.7 vs 102.0). In contrast, the assessment of the current situation deteriorated (81.4 vs 84.0), its lowest since March 2025, as consumers saw their current financial situation worsen (71.3 vs 74.4) and the local economy weaken (91.8 vs 94.0). The three-month moving average declined to 84.5 from 85.7.
