UPDATE 1-Brazil's Bolsonaro hints at change in Petrobras' profit distribution
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro suggested on Monday he may tinker with state-run company Petrobras' profit policy, cutting the percentage distributed to shareholders, as he looks to curb fuel price hikes ahead of the country's October elections. In a speech during an event in Sao Paulo, Bolsonaro said that all the oil companies in the world have reduced their profit margins during this economic crisis, except for Petrobras. Last week, Bolsonaro fired the then Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, and replaced him with high-ranking Economy Ministry official Adolfo Sachsida in another sign of political turmoil over fuel-price hikes by Petrobras.

UPDATE 1-Brazil's antitrust regulator approves sale of Petrobras refinery
Brazil's antitrust watchdog CADE said on Friday that the sale of state-run oil company Petrobras' Reman refinery to fuel distributor Atem was approved with no restrictions.

Reman is one of eight refineries the company has put up for sale as part of a 2019 agreement with the antitrust regulator to enhance competition in Brazil's oil refining sector.
