“O Petróleo é Nosso,” or “The Oil is Ours,” was a popular slogan central to the founding of Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, in 1953. The slogan can also be interpreted more broadly, as Brazil’s refined products markets have opened to more participants, leading to a surge in spot market activity and price transparency. As a result, Platts has launched new price assessments for Brazilian gasoline and diesel. How did those spot markets evolve? Why is the Northeast so reliant on imports? How are renewable fuels playing out in gasoline and diesel?
Jeff Mower discusses these topics and more with Renato Rostas, manager of the Platts Brazil refined products team, and Brazil gasoline and diesel price reporters Isabela Rocha and Kauanna Navarro.
