Inflation is actually rather stable... or so they say (Brazil has definitely seen worse times, though). But there's a combination of internal economy problems, plus the aftermath of a truck drivers strike a few months ago that practically paralyzed the whole country and worsened said economy problems, and also external factors like the side effects of the recent happenings in other emerging markets like Argentina and Turkey, among other things. And then, one of the most worrying factors over here at the moment is that this year is presidential election year, and is proving to be the most uncertain presidential election year ever. I'm hoping the markets will calm down and the BRL prices will recover after elections...
