IPCA-15 inflation preview reached 0.59% in May

The result surpassed the median forecast of 0.45% of financial market analysts consulted by Estadão/Broadcast, who had expected a rise of 0.28% to 0.70%.

The rate is at 12.20% over 12 months; the end of the additional tax on electricity bills prevented a more significant result.

The result surpassed the median forecast of 0.45% of financial market analysts consulted by Estadão/Broadcast, who had expected a rise of 0.28% to 0.70%. The 12-month rate accelerated from 12.03% in April to 12.20% in May, the highest since November 2003.
