Even before the expected reduction in fuel prices by Petrobras, due to the retreat of oil in the international market, a weekly survey carried out by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) found stability in the pumps at filling stations in the week of 28th November to December 4, with registration of even slight setbacks.
Brent type oil retreated around US$ 10 in the last two weeks and closed at below US$ 70 a barrel on Friday, 3. Petrobras’ president, General Joaquim Silva e Luna, had already informed about the possible reduction in the price of gasoline at a hearing at the Senate Economic Affairs Committee at the end of November, and Ativa Investimentos predicted that the drop should be 5%. This Sunday, the 5th, president Jair Bolsonaro told the Poder360 website that Petrobras will begin, as of this week, to announce the reduction in fuel prices.
The average price of gasoline last week was R$6.742 per liter, slightly below the R$6.749/l of the previous week. The highest price was R$ 7,962/l, in the South, the same price a week before, and the lowest, R$ 5,299/l, in the Southeast. Diesel oil also showed a slight retreat last week. The average was R$ 5,355/l, against an average price of R$ 5,366 in the previous week, with the highest price, R$ 6,700, found in the North region, and the lowest, 4,070/l in the Northeast region.
Cooking gas also stopped rising, recording an average price of R$ 102.40 for the 13-kg unit, the most expensive being R$ 140 already four weeks ago in the Midwest region, and the lowest at R$ $78 in the Southeast.
