Increase In Supply From The Organization Of The Petroleum Exporting Countries And Allies, Along With Geopolitical Tensions, Raises Barrel Prices; Petrobras ADRs Follow High Movement.
Oil prices registered a significant increase of more than 4% in this session, reflecting directly the announcement of an increase in supply by OPEC+. According to information from the Money Times portal, this movement, combined with tensions between Russia and Ukraine, boosted commodity prices and influenced the performance of sector assets, such as Petrobras ADRs.
OPEC+ Increases Production And Impacts Oil Prices
The Organization Of The Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) decided to increase their production. The group will add 411 thousand barrels per day (bpd) in July. This measure, according to Money Times, primarily aims to recover market share. Additionally, OPEC+ seeks to penalize countries that have produced above previously established quotas. The decision to increase oil supply had a direct impact on futures contracts, which saw their values rise considerably.
Geopolitical Tensions As A Pressure Factor On Prices
The scenario of rising oil prices positively impacted Petrobras assets traded abroad. The American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of the Brazilian state-owned company recorded a significant advance. In pre-market, Petrobras shares showed an appreciation of 1.99%. As a result, the ADRs reached the level of US$ 11.77, as reported by Money Times.
