Petróleo Brent se aproxima de US$ 120 com escalada das tensões no Oriente Médio

Os preços do petróleo subiram 3% na segunda-feira, 29 de março, com o barril de Brent se aproximando de US$ 120, dando continuidade à alta da semana passada provocada por ameaças entre EUA e Irã. A escalada dos conflitos, incluindo o receio de uma ofensiva terrestre dos EUA no Irã e ataques de houthis alinhados ao Irã contra Israel, impulsionou a disparada em meio a interrupções no fornecimento em importantes rotas marítimas.

Após os aumentos nos preços do petróleo na semana anterior, decorrentes de ameaças do presidente dos EUA, Trump, e do Irã de atingir instalações de energia, as tensões no Oriente Médio se intensificaram ainda mais. O barril de Brent se aproximou de US$ 120 na segunda-feira, com alta de 3%, segundo o The Economic Times. Os principais fatores incluem preocupações com uma possível ofensiva terrestre dos EUA no Irã e ataques de houthis iemenitas contra Israel. Analistas alertam para a possibilidade de os preços atingirem US$ 200 o barril em um conflito prolongado, com US$ 80 como um piso de curto prazo. A Arábia Saudita está redirecionando as exportações de petróleo bruto para contornar as interrupções no Mar Vermelho e no estreito de Bab el-Mandeb, vitais para o fornecimento global. As negociações de cessar-fogo continuam, mas o JP Morgan destaca os riscos de grandes problemas de oferta caso o conflito se amplie.
