More Difficult for Brazilian Pockets: Gasoline and Diesel Prices May See New Increases Soon, Says Ativa Investimentos

Petrobras announced an increase in gasoline and diesel prices this Thursday, with new values already in effect today, Friday (16). The average gasoline prices are now R$ 2.64 at refineries (an increase of 1.9%), while diesel will cost R$ 2.76 (an increase of 3.8%).

However, the price increase may continue in the short term, according to an analysis by Ativa Investimentos. In an analysis of the lag models, the investment firm believes there is still room for a potential price increase of up to 11% in a short period of time.

Petrobras’ policy is not to interfere with prices and to change them at any moment, without defining a regularity. The state-owned company informed in a statement the strategy for yet another increase in gasoline and diesel prices.

”Adjustments are made at any time, without a defined periodicity, according to market conditions and an analysis of the external environment. This allows the company to compete more efficiently and flexibly and avoids the immediate pass-through of external volatility to internal prices.”
