Brazil’s Ibovespa stock index also closed with a gain of 0.28%, reaching 183,969 points.

Oil Prices Soar Amidst Middle East Tensions and Coordinated Oil Release Effort; Companies Seek Financial Relief

To counter potential supply disruptions, over 30 countries have agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil from their emergency stockpiles—the largest release ever by International Energy Agency (IEA) member states. Despite this coordinated effort, oil prices continued to climb. By 5:00 PM, Brent crude, the international benchmark, was up 5% for April contracts, reaching US$92.19 per barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also rose by 5% to US$87.62 per barrel. Amidst this economic uncertainty, several companies have taken steps to address their financial situations. Raizen filed for extrajudicial recovery on Wednesday to renegotiate debts and improve cash flow. This follows Grupo Pao de Acucar (GPA), which announced its extrajudicial recovery plan the previous day. Source: G1 Note: This text does not necessarily reflect Uai portal’s opinion.
