Better global scenario
According to the issuing entity, the average price of traditional products expanded 6.1%, supported by greater external conditions, as well as by the low supply of some basic metals.
Copper (17.7%) and

Likewise, the average price of non-traditional products went up by 10.9% last July.
In this sense, farming (18.4%) and iron-steel (16.5%) sectors registered the highest prices.
