Petrobras, 3R And PRIO Suffer Decline On The Brazilian Stock Exchange Today.

On Thursday, the 16th, the futures contracts for oil closed down nearly 5%. This decline brought the barrel to its lowest levels since July and caused Brent, the benchmark for international oil, to trade below US$ 80.

Fears regarding demand in the world’s major economies have put pressure on the commodity, while production continues to advance in several producing countries. Additionally, the lack of new developments indicating possible progress in the conflict between Israel and Hamas has impacted the market.

In Thursday’s trading, WTI oil for January closed down 4.81%, at US$ 73.09 per barrel, while Brent for the same month traded on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) ended the day down 4.63%, at US$ 77.42 per barrel.

As a result of this scenario, the stocks of companies in the oil sector such as PRIO3 (R$ 45.55, -3.06%), RRRP3 (R$ 31.78, -2.31%) and PETR3 (R$ 37.90, -2.07%; PETR4, R$ 35.64, -1.49%) recorded devaluation.

ANZ highlighted that the oil market added a significant supply from countries outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), exceeding demand for this product. This is evident in the total oil inventories in the United States, which the U.S. Department of Energy indicated are close to 17.5 million barrels, thus alleviating fears of shortages.

On the other hand, in the United States, industrial production fell 0.6% in October compared to September, a decline larger than analysts surveyed by FactSet had expected, who forecasted a 0.4% drop for the period. In China, the demand for oil from refineries decreased from 15.48 million barrels per day to 15.05 million barrels per day in October, according to the national statistics office (NBS) of the country.

Looking ahead, Oanda revealed concerns regarding demand for 2024, particularly considering China and the downward trend. This could make it difficult for Russia and Saudi Arabia to allow unilateral cuts to expire at the end of the year. Adriano Pires, director and partner at the Brazilian Center for Infrastructure, explained that in addition to the factors that have been impacting the market, the selling of positions by hedge funds also has effects on the physical market price of the commodity. He stated that the most pronounced decline in oil since September to date is partly due to the selling of 37% of the positions held by hedge funds since September, representing about 200 million barrels of oil.
