Brazil Private Sector Activity Growth Eases in February
The IHS Markit Brazil Composite PMI declined to 50.9 in February 2020 from 52.2 in the previous month, signaling a weaker expansion in the private sector.

New work advanced at the softest rate in three months and the job creation slowed, as a sharper increase in employment in the goods-producing industry was offset by weaker growth in the service sector. On the price front, input price inflation accelerated to a near one-year-and-a-half high; and output cost inflation picked up. Lastly, sentiment remained positive, with confidence in both the manufacturing and service economies above their respective long-run averages.

Also, sales quickened from November's five-month low as growth of services new business accelerated while factory orders rose the least in seven months. Input cost inflation was the strongest in 14 months, with faster increases noted at both goods producers and service providers.
