Brazil's Petrobras not considering short-term diesel price hike, sources say

Petrobras will hold off on raising diesel prices in the short term, maintaining its policy of not passing international price swings through to Brazilian consumers. The move limits immediate price-driven revenue upside and may compress domestic fuel margins or shift costs onto the company/state, but is unlikely to produce a material market reaction beyond sector-level repricing.
