A meta de inflação fixada pelo Conselho Monetário Nacional é de 3%, com intervalo de tolerância de 1,5 ponto percentual, o que estabelece o teto em 4,5%. O mercado espera, portanto, que a inflação estoure o teto da meta neste ano.
A revisão para cima marca a quinta semana consecutiva de alta nas projeções, movimento que acompanha os desdobramentos da guerra no Oriente Médio e a escalada dos preços internacionais do petróleo.
Antes do início do conflito, os analistas projetavam inflação abaixo de 4% para 2026. A expectativa do próprio Banco Central era de que o IPCA fechasse o ano em 3,9%.
O IPCA de março registrou alta de 0,88%, acima das expectativas do mercado, acumulando 4,14% em 12 meses. O grupo transporte teve a maior alta do mês, de 1,64%, enquanto alimentação e bebidas subiu 1,56%.
Juntos, os dois indicadores responderam por 76% do IPCA de março.
O dado chama a atenção porque março marca o início da sazonalidade de baixa da inflação, mas os reflexos do conflito no Irã inverteram essa lógica.
Com o resultado de março, as medianas das estimativas do Sistema Expectativas de Mercado passaram a indicar que o IPCA acumulado em 12 meses ficará acima do teto de 4,5% por cinco meses consecutivos, de outubro de 2026 a fevereiro de 2027.
Pelo novo regime de meta contínua, vigente desde 2025, se a taxa ficar acima do limite de tolerância por seis meses seguidos, considera-se que o Banco Central perdeu o alvo.
O C6 Bank projeta que o IPCA encerre o ano em 4,8%, acima do teto da meta. A XP Investimentos também ajustou suas expectativas nomes ligados à instituição vê a probabilidade de um IPCA acima de 5%. No ASA, a projeção que já estava em 4,6% deve ser revisada para cima, e a AZ Quest também prevê elevar sua estimativa atual de 4,5%, que era de 3,60% antes do conflito.
Para 2027, os economistas consultados pelo Banco Central elevaram a projeção do IPCA de 3,85% para 3,91%. Para 2028, a estimativa permanece em 3,6%. A Selic deve encerrar 2026 em 12,5% ao ano, segundo o mesmo boletim, com o dólar projetado a R$ 5,37 e o PIB com crescimento de 1,85%.

=== Propositions === P1 [factual]: The inflation target set by the National Monetary Council is 3%, with a tolerance interval of 1.5 percentage points, setting the ceiling at 4.5%. P2 [factual]: The IPCA for March registered an increase of 0.88%, accumulating 4.14% in 12 months. P3 [factual]: Under the new continuous target regime in effect since 2025, if the rate stays above the tolerance limit for six consecutive months, the Central Bank is considered to have missed the target. P4 [causal]: Developments in the Middle East war and rising international oil prices causes are driving consecutive upward revisions in inflation projections (market expectation). P5 [causal]: The March result causes leads market median estimates to indicate the 12-month accumulated IPCA will stay above the 4.5% ceiling for five consecutive months. === Constraints === P1 contradicts P2 Note: Conflicting values for 'the': 3% vs 0.88% === Causal Graph === developments in the middle east war and rising international oil prices -> are driving consecutive upward revisions in inflation projections market expectation the march result -> leads market median estimates to indicate the 12month accumulated ipca will stay above the 45 ceiling for five consecutive months === Detected Contradictions === UNSAT: P1 AND P2 Proof: Heuristic: Values conflict between P1 and P2
