Iran and the United States remain at loggerheads over efforts to agree a permanent end to the war in the Gulf, according to a senior Iranian source. The U.S. accuses Iran of failing to honor an agreement under the deal to reopen the ⁠vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route. Tehran says Washington has reneged on its commitments, including lifting a blockade of Iranian ports and releasing frozen Iranian assets. "One of the issues that is being discussed via mediators is the U.S. returning to the interim agreement and defining a time frame for implementing the commitments. There has been absolutely no progress on this issue," the Iranian source said. US President Trump said on Wednesday (Aug. 12) that the U.S. has "total control" over the Strait of Hormuz. But the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, the body Iran set up to manage the waterway, said it remains blocked and will not be reopened until Iran’s conditions are accepted.

Brazilian President Luiz Lula da Silva holds an 8.9-point lead over Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in a potential runoff in the October 4th election, according to the CNT/MDA poll released on Tuesday (Aug. 11). The gap stood at 12.5 points in the June survey. In the second-round scenario, Lula takes 48% of voting intentions against 39.1% for the Liberal Party senator. In June the figures were 49.3% and 36.8% respectively. The narrowing reflects both a 1.3-point decline for the president and a 2.3-point rise for the opposition candidate, variations that individually fall within the 2.2-point margin of error. The current gap between the two, by contrast, exceeds it comfortably. In the first round, Lula leads with 42.4%, virtually unchanged from June, followed by Flávio Bolsonaro with 28.7% and other candidates s with 4% and smaller percentages. If no candidate exceeds 50% of valid votes in the initial vote, the 2 leading contenders will go to a runoff on Oct. 25h.

Engie Brasil Energia S.A.announced strong profits, but the stock was stagnant. To understand the value of a company's earnings growth, it is imperative to consider any dilution of shareholders' interests. As it happens, Engie Brasil Energia issued 24% more new shares over the last year. That means its earnings are split among a greater number of shares. Engie Brasil Energia has been growing its net income over the last few years, with an annualized gain of 22% over three years. And the 32% profit boost in the last year certainly seems impressive at first glance. On the other hand, earnings per share are only up 32% in that time. So you can see that the dilution has had a fairly significant impact on shareholders. In the long term, earnings per share growth should beget share price growth. So Engie Brasil Energia shareholders will want to see that EPS figure continue to increase. But on the other hand, we'd be far less excited to learn profit (but not EPS) was improving. For that reason, you could say that EPS is more important than net income in the long run, assuming the goal is to assess whether a company's share price might grow.

Brazil’s Braskem, Latin America’s largest petrochemical firm, is in advanced talks for a potential out-of-court restructuring that could be filed as early as this month, two people familiar ‌with the matter said on Wednesday (Aug. 12). The company is grappling with over US$ 10 billion in debt across operations in Brazil, Europe and the U.S. The restructuring proposal could come ahead of an August 24 deadline when Braskem’s 60-day emergency protection expires, the sources said, requesting anonymity due to the ⁠sensitivity of negotiations. Braskem, which private equity firm IG4 Capital recently acquired from engineering group Novonor, has been facing a prolonged downcycle in the petrochemical sector and is expected to need three to five years to resolve its issues, the sources said.
