S&P 500 Hits ‘Line in the Sand’ at 200-Day Support as Oil, Fed Jitters Revive 10% Drop Call

U.S. stocks sit at a crossroads heading into Thursday, after the S&P 500 closed Wednesday just above its 200-day moving average—finishing at 6,624.70, with the long-term trendline coming in at 6,615.70. That line is in sharp focus for money managers. BTIG warns that if the index drops through 6,600, there’s potential for a move down to 6,000. Over on the Dow and Nasdaq, both have already fallen through their own 200-day marks.

Petrobras Stock Price Slips After Diesel Hike as Brazil Export Tax Blunts Oil Rally

Petrobras Stock Price Slips After Diesel Hike as Brazil Export Tax Blunts Oil Rally

Petrobras shares lost ground Friday after the oil giant announced it’s bumping up diesel prices for distributors starting March 14. The increase pushes local fuel prices higher, though consumers won’t see the entire jump at the pump. U.S.-traded ADRs were off $0.25, changing hands at $18.72 as of 1533 UTC. According to the company, diesel A—what it sells to distributors—will cost an extra 0.38 real per liter. Since retail diesel in Brazil is mixed with biodiesel, that translates to an effective hike of 0.32 real per liter at service stations. The average price for diesel A will hit 3.65 reais per liter.
