Brazilian state-run oil firm Petrobras said on Saturday that its board approved the company's participation in a new government subsidy program for diesel oil producers, worth 1.00 real ($0.19) per liter for 30 days.
A fresh rally in international diesel prices has widened the gap between international prices and Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras to record levels, prompting independent importers to delay purchases, industry executives told Reuters.
Petrobras (PBR) concluded the recent trading session at $21.78, signifying a +2.96% move from its prior day's close.
PBR receives $434M in diesel subsidy payments, lifting cumulative fuel-program compensation to 9.5B reais as strong earnings add financial support.

PBR trades at a 40–56% discount to peers on EV/EBITDA and P/E, despite superior profitability and growth metrics.
Brazil's Petrobras is looking to raise diesel prices at its refineries by about 1 real ($0.1964) per liter, but is waiting for government measures to shield consumers from the increase, two sources at the state-run oil firm told Reuters.
