In the whole of 2014, the Brazil Commodities Index (IC-Br), measured monthly by the Brazilian Central Bank, was up 5.47%.<\/p>\n<p>The IC-Br is calculated based on the variation, in reais (Brazilian currency), of commodities&rsquo; prices negotiated abroad. To do so, the Central Bank keeps track of the products that are relevant to consumer price dynamics in Brazil. <\/p>\n<p>Last month, the energy sector (petroleum, natural gas and coal) was one of the main reasons for the lowering of prices, which dropped 13%. The score for metals (aluminium, iron ore, copper, tin, zinc, lead and nickel) was also down, by 1.25%.
