Bras\u00edlia \u2013 The Brazil Commodities Index (IC-Br, in the Portuguese acronym), calculated by the Central Bank, was down 1.4%, in June compared with the preceding month. The information was disclosed this Wednesday (4th) by the bank. In the first half, the index was up 0.83%, and in the 12 month period ended June it was up 2.59%. The IC-Br calculates the variation, in real (Brazilian currency), in prices of Brazilian primary products traded overseas.<\/p>\n
In June, the decline was driven by the energy segment (oil, natural gas and coal), whose prices dropped 6.83%. Metals prices (aluminium, iron ore, copper, tin, zinc, lead and nickel) were down 2%.<\/p>\n
Agriculture segment prices (beef, cotton, soy oil, wheat, sugar, maize, coffee, rice, and pork) were down 0.2%.<\/p>\n
The commodity price index calculated by the international Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) was up 1.87% during the month and 10.23%, in the first half. In the 12-month period ended June, prices were up 10.1%. <\/p>\n
