Oil Rises for 6th Consecutive Day Amid Tensions in the Middle East and Shakes Markets

The price of Oil in the international market rises for the 6th consecutive day. At 12:30 PM this Friday (Oct 4, 2024), the barrel of Brent crude oil (due in December 2024) was priced at US$ 78.35, with a gain of 0.94%. It reached US$ 79.00 at the day’s peak, marking the highest value since August 29.

In the accumulated trading of the last six days, Oil has already accumulated an increase of 10.1%. It surged from US$ 71.09 to US$ 78.27 during this period, representing a rise of US$ 7.18. This significant increase is a direct reflection of the tensions in the Middle East.

The rise in tensions in the region began when Iran attacked Israel with missiles on Tuesday (Oct 1, 2024). The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated on Wednesday (Oct 2, 2024) that they conducted an attack in downtown Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, and also bombed an area near Beirut International Airport.

Maritime Blockades

Maritime blockades in the transport of Oil could further elevate product prices. The Strait of Hormuz is the main point of concern, and U.S. President Joe Biden stated he is considering possible support for Israel in an attack on Iran.

The attacks in the Middle East increase investors’ doubts regarding the supply of Oil in the world. The rise in prices in the international market boosts Petrobras’s earnings, whose stocks have been recording consecutive increases on the B3 (São Paulo Stock Exchange).

Ordinary shares (PETR3) rose from R$ 39.27 to R$ 41.34 in the last 3 trading sessions, an increase of 5.27%. Preferred shares advanced from R$ 36.01 to R$ 37.94 in the same period, growing by 5.36%.

This 3,000-year-old invention cools any house by 15 degrees without spending a cent on energy, and the reason no one talks about it is that the industry profits billions selling machines designed to break down.

Scientists glued moss to the exterior of the International Space Station, exposed it to vacuum, radiation, and temperatures of -196°C for 283 days, and more than 80% of the spores survived, regenerated on Earth, and managed to reproduce.

Valued at $20 billion, the galleon San José, the “Holy Grail of shipwrecks,” has finally begun to be explored: robots retrieved bronze cannons, coins, and 18th-century Chinese porcelain from the depths of the Caribbean after 318 years.

A 3 billion dollar ship was built to do what physics said was impossible and can pull entire oil platforms out of the ocean in just 10 seconds with surgical precision.

Petrobras made two discoveries in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin in less than 30 days: “excellent quality” oil in Marlim Sul in March and hydrocarbons at 2,984 meters in April.

The government will pay R$ 1.20 for each liter of diesel that Brazil imports and for the first time in history requires distributors to reveal how much they profit — those who hide their margins will face fines of up to R$ 500 million…
