🚨 Petrobras ends R$ 0.44 discount on regular gasoline (gasolina A) and applies a R$ 0.19 per-liter adjustment

On Wednesday (9), Petrobras announced a change to its pricing policy. It ended the R$ 0.44 per-liter discount on gasoline A sold to distributors and applied a R$ 0.19 increase, effective as of this Thursday (10).

The immediate inflation impact was neutralized by a fiscal maneuver from the federal government, which reduced the PIS/Pasep and Cofins rates by exactly R$ 0.63 per liter. The sum of removing the corporate subsidy along with the production-related increase matched perfectly with the tax relief, keeping the final price unchanged at the pumps for consumers.

At a time of bearish sentiment and global risk aversion, trading desks are monitoring how the manipulation of energy margins through fiscal channels affects inflation expectations in Brazil. For investors in $BTC e digital assets, fiscal compression and instability in commodity prices reinforce the flight toward decentralized stores of value in the face of state interventions.

How do you assess the sustainability of these cross-cutting fiscal maneuvers in the real economy, and their indirect influence on risk appetite in the crypto market? Comment below! 👇
