FX.co ★ Brazil’s Consumer Confidence Slips in February, Signals Cautious Households

Brazilian consumer confidence weakened in February 2026, interrupting any signs of improvement and underscoring persistent caution among households. The FGV Consumer Confidence Index eased to 86.1 points in February from 87.3 points in January 2026.

The decline, updated on 25 February 2026, keeps the index well below the 100-point threshold that separates pessimism from optimism. The latest reading suggests Brazilian consumers remain wary about their economic prospects, a factor that could weigh on domestic demand and broader growth dynamics in the coming months.
