Ibovespa falls 0.9% to 185,501 as oil-supply fears intensify

  • Ibovespa fell 0.9% to close at 185,501 as oil-supply risks, inflation concerns and Brazilian political uncertainty pressured stocks.
  • Crude hovered near $102 a barrel after a 1.3% rise, following earlier Brent quotes of $107.59-$107.83 and WTI quotes of $103.30-$103.50.
  • Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline can carry 7 million barrels per day, while repairs may take six to eight weeks and diplomacy over Hormuz remains stalled.

The Ibovespa fell 0.9% to close at 185,501 on Monday as oil-supply risks, inflation concerns and Brazilian political uncertainty pressured stocks. Crude later hovered near $102 a barrel after rising 1.3% in the previous session, with traders balancing Middle East disruptions against Turkey-backed efforts for Russia and Ukraine to halt attacks on energy infrastructure and Black Sea shipping. Brent and WTI had earlier risen above $107 and $103, respectively, after Houthi forces captured Perim Island and Mokha port and Saudi Arabia shut its damaged East-West Pipeline. The market moves came ahead of monetary-policy decisions in Brazil and the United States.
