A Relative Strength Rating upgrade for Petrobras shows improving technical performance. Will it continue?
The chief executive of Brazilian state-run oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA said on Friday he wants to sell the company's stake in petrochemical company Braskem SA within 12 months, adding that he strongly disagreed with reported plans to delay the sale. On Monday, Reuters reported that creditors of corruption-ensnared construction conglomerate Odebrecht SA, which also has a large stake in Braskem, were in advanced talks to delay a sale for up to two years. "To me, it means they do not want to sell anything," CEO Roberto Castello Branco said during a meeting with investors in London.
* Petrobras rises 2%, says may divest billions more than forecast * Chile stocks, peso rise; central bank holds benchmark rate * Argentine c. Stocks took support from lingering optimism over the Sino-U.S. trade war, after a Bloomberg report as well as positive comments from U.S. President Donald Trump brewed some hope over a "phase-one" trade deal. Regional markets have also been propped up by some positive economic readings this week, with better-than-expected GDP data from Brazil, Latin America's largest economy, being the most notable.
(Bloomberg) -- While Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro recently welcomed an informal invitation to join OPEC, the boss of the country’s state-controlled energy company isn’t a fan of the idea and said it’s not a possibility right now.“To be a member of OPEC, or not, is not an option that’s being considered by the Brazilian government,” Petrobras Chief Executive Officer Roberto Castello Branco said Wednesday in an interview in New York.“I am a free marketer,” he added. “I am against cartels. Brazil can do better.”He made the comments as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries prepares to meet in Vienna Thursday to decide on whether to persist with supply curbs. A committee that oversees its deal with non-members including Russia recommended the wider group adopt a Saudi Arabian proposal and cut its output quota by 500,000 barrels a day, delegates said.Brazil joining OPEC isn’t a new proposition -- former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva once toyed with the idea. Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the state oil company is also known, has previously come out against the notion, saying its obligation is to investors and debt holders, and that the government doesn’t have the power to determine production levels of private operators.Bolsonaro said in October he got the invitation after meeting with senior officials from Saudi Arabia including Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Brazil’s oil output is set to grow strongly in the next few years as more of its offshore reserves are drilled, giving the country increasing clout in the global market.To contact the reporter on this story: Simon Casey in New York at scasey4@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Simon Casey at scasey4@bloomberg.net, Pratish NarayananFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

In a separate Wednesday presentation, released during Petrobras' New York Investors' Day, the company said it may add its Bolivian assets to the divestment program, as well as its stake in petrochemical firm Braskem SA, legacy deepwater oilfields and its remaining stake in fuel distribution firm, Petrobras Distribuidora SA, commonly known as BR Distribuidora.
