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.
