Markets React With Risk Aversion After Trump’s Threats to China and Pressure International Oil Prices

The shares of Petrobras (PETR3; PETR4) and other Brazilian oil companies closed Friday, October 10, 2025, with strong devaluation, driven by the sharp drop in oil prices in the international market.
In addition, new trade threats made by Donald Trump against China increased risk aversion in the markets, which penalized energy sector assets widely.

Oil Drops With Increased OPEC+ Supply and Geopolitical Tension

According to the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), WTI oil for November delivery closed down 4.24%, falling US$ 2.61 and trading at US$ 58.90 per barrel.
Meanwhile, Brent oil, the global benchmark on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in London, depreciated by 3.82%, down US$ 2.49, quoted at US$ 62.73.
In the week ending October 10, WTI accumulated a loss of 3.25%, while Brent fell 2.78%, amplifying the market’s negative trend.
This scenario was intensified by the increase in production by OPEC+, which has been expanding supply for months, challenging global demand.
As a result, prices remain under pressure, and instability intensifies.
In light of this, investors adopted caution, prioritizing defensive assets and avoiding high-risk stocks.

Petrobras and Junior Stocks See Sharp Decline

In this unfavorable environment, Petrobras stocks could not withstand the negative tide.
The preferred shares PETR4 fell 0.89%, priced at R$ 29.94, while the ordinary shares PETR3 recorded a decline of 0.75%, closing at R$ 31.91, according to B3 data.
However, the reaction was even more intense among junior oil companies, which exhibit higher volatility.
PRIO (PRIO3) dropped 3.38%, closing at R$ 36.02.
Additionally, PetroReconcavo (RECV3) fell 3.04%, to R$ 11.81, and Brava Energia (BRAV3) lost 2.50%, ending at R$ 15.63.
These numbers illustrate how global instability directly affects the sector’s most sensitive assets.

U.S.-China Trade Dispute Worsens Scenario

The drops were driven by statements from former U.S. President Donald Trump made on Thursday, October 9.
He stated that he intends to impose new tariffs on Chinese products.
This retaliation occurred after Beijing increased controls over the export of rare earth minerals.
As a result, fears of a new trade war between the U.S. and China were reignited, directly impacting the commodity market.
Consequently, global investors reduced exposure to risk assets.
Among them, oil-related stocks were among the most affected.
This episode reinforces the sector’s sensitivity to international political decisions.

Outlook Remains Challenging for the Sector

In addition to trade tensions, the market is closely monitoring the OPEC+ strategy, which continues to increase supply despite the slowdown in global demand.
This makes the environment even more volatile for companies in the sector.
Meanwhile, the debate over energy transition and the future of oil in a decarbonization scenario is growing.
In this way, companies like Petrobras face uncertainties both in the short and long term.
Investors, for their part, remain cautious.
They seek to understand the extent to which the combination of external risks may affect the sector’s performance.

In light of this scenario, the market wonders: How long can the oil sector withstand global pressure and maintain its attractiveness?

In light of this scenario, the market wonders: How long can the oil sector withstand global pressure and maintain its attractiveness?

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

After two years of internal discussions, Paraguay has finally regulated the law that opens the country to foreign technology and service companies with tax incentives that promise to create thousands of jobs and change the economy.

Map reveals how the Earth may look in 250 million years: continents will reunite in the Last Pangaea, 92% of the planet could become uninhabitable for mammals, and Spain appears among the rare possible exceptions.

About 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland, with houses forming a continuous row and narrow agricultural strips emerging behind them, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

Workers are being forced to train the AI that will replace them in their jobs.

From discarded waste to completed constructions: startup creates modular blocks with recycled plastic that reduce construction costs, eliminate the need for specialized labor, and accelerate projects in Brazil.

Archaeologists found in the desert an oasis 5,000 years old surrounded by giant walls, in a discovery that reveals a civilization much more complex, powerful, and organized than previously thought.

With the war silencing the wells of Iran, Brazil set a record of 5.3 million barrels per day and rose in the global oil ranking without anyone noticing — the pre-salt now accounts for 80% of everything that comes from the seabed.

After years of delays and billions invested, the Golden Pass megaterminal in Texas is about to start exporting liquefied gas and will reshape the global energy map amid the Middle East crisis.

The artificial intelligence market within the oil industry is worth billions today and will more than double by 2033, and those who do not get on board now with the race for digital twins and autonomous drilling will be left behind.

Petrobras quietly installed an artificial intelligence system called Smart Tocha in six of its largest refineries, and the technology independently controls the burning of gases to reduce emissions without any operator needing to intervene.

Most oil platforms in the world operate at only 77% of their potential, and McKinsey has just calculated that artificial intelligence alone can cut costs in half and increase value by 30% in just one year.
