Brazil used-car price index posts smallest quarterly gain since Q1 2025

Brazil's IBV Auto used-vehicle price index rose 0.36% in Q3 2026, the smallest quarterly increase since Q1 2025, down from 1.27% in Q2 2026 and 2.04% in Q3 2025. The slowdown suggests cooling demand or easing supply constraints in the used-car market, a potential signal of softer consumer spending. The data is from a single bank index and may not fully capture national trends.
