Brazilian food retail revenue grew 6.9% and volume 1.8% in the week of October 12-18, per Nielsen data. The sector attributes part of the gain to the end of online betting, which may have redirected consumer spending. This suggests a modest consumption boost, though the effect is likely temporary and localized.
