According to Matheus Dias, an economist at FGV Ibre, the slowdown in the IPA in May was mainly determined by the sharp decline in Raw Materials, whose rate went from 7.01% in April to 0.06% in May. "This movement reflected significant negative influences, such as iron ore, which fell 4.67%, as well as anhydrous ethyl alcohol, sugarcane, coffee beans, and swine, all with significant drops in the month," he details.
