BRASILIA, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Economic activity in Brazil fell slightly in July, a central bank indicator showed on Friday, running counter to recent data that had suggested the economy started the third quarter on a solid footing.
The central bank’s IBC-Br economic activity index, a leading indicator of gross domestic product (GDP), fell 0.16% in July from June, the first decline in three months. (Reporting by Jamie McGeever Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
