On July 8, Petrobras rose 3.18% in pre-market trading to $17.19 per share, with turnover of approximately $2.50 million, driven by broad-based strength across the oil and gas sector alongside company-specific catalysts.
On the sector front, integrated oil majors rallied collectively, with Exxon Mobil up 3.61%, Occidental up 3.74%, Chevron up 2.61%, and BP up 1.71%. On the company level, multiple positive developments have emerged recently: on July 6, the Mexican President announced that Petrobras will partner with Pemex to explore deep-water oil and gas resources in the Cantarell region. Additionally, the company's CEO stated that oil prices appear to have stabilized in the $72-75 per barrel range, and the company is restarting investment to deepen its presence in Brazil's domestic market. Petrobras also recently approved a $1.2 billion biorefining project at its Presidente Bernardes refinery in Sao Paulo state, with production capacity of up to 15,000 barrels per day of bio-jet fuel and renewable diesel.
