In this 10th episode, Pedro Rodrigues talks about the reductions in the price of a liter of diesel in refineries in recent weeks. The 1st reduction, after 461 days, took effect on August 5th. The value of diesel sold to distributors dropped from R$5.61 to R$5.41 – a drop of 3.6%. The 2nd was made this Thursday (Aug 11), with a cut of R$ 0.22 per liter, from R$ 5.41 to R$ 5.19.
According to Pedro Rodrigues, the diesel market “is significantly more vulnerable to shocks resulting from both the pandemic and the Ukraine war, compared to gasoline”for example, and therefore there was a delay in the reduction.
