The oil market is increasingly behaving as though disruptions to Middle East energy supplies are not a temporary shock but a new reality. An interim ceasefire agreed on June 17 has effectively collapsed, the 60-day negotiating period has expired, and neither Washington nor Tehran appears willing to compromise over the future of the Strait of Hormuz.. The stalemate is increasingly forcing traders to contend with restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil chokepoint, that could persist for months. That shift in expectations helps explain why crude oil prices have stabilized around US$ 90 a barrel. Crude has surrendered some of its panic premium since the early days of the conflict, but remains roughly 50% higher than at the start of the year. The market may no longer fear an immediate collapse in supplies, but neither does it expect a swift return to normal.

After 4 months of steep declines in ethanol prices in Brazil, analysts said demand had started to “wake up” after an extended period when ethanol was priced more competitively than gasoline at the pump. According to a price survey by consulting firm Datagro, the producer price of hydrous ethanol in São Paulo rose 8.2% last week to R$ 2.1955 (US$ 0.4353) per liter, while anhydrous ethanol increased 6.6% to R$ 2.5078 (US$ 0.4974) per liter, both excluding taxes. In Paulínia, the country’s main fuel trading hub, the terminal price of hydrous ethanol rose 10.3% during the week to R$ 2.2597 (US$ 0.4482) per liter, also excluding taxes, according to Datagro data. Over the previous quarter, prices came under pressure amid a sharp increase in production in the Center-South region, driven both by new corn ethanol plants and by a greater share of sugarcane being directed toward biofuel production rather than sugar.

Brazil wants the EU to recognise its deforestation monitoring data as Brussels prepares to enforce rules that could affect some of the country’s biggest agricultural exports, the country’s Environment Minister João Paulo Capobianco told Euractiv. Brazil’s government has pledged to eliminate illegal deforestation by 2030. Forest loss fell to its lowest level in a decade in early 2026. Brasília is a vocal critic of the EU’s deforestation regulation, which requires companies to use precise geolocation data to show that certain commodities sold in the bloc do not come from deforested land. The rules are expected to particularly affect tropical exporters such as Brazil, whose key commodities include cattle, soybeans and coffee. Despite criticism from major trade partners, including Brazil, the US and Indonesia, the EU has ruled out reworking the regulation, which is due to apply from 30 December 2026.

Colombia's state-controlled oil company Ecopetrol has completed its R$ 6.05 billion (US$ 1.2 B) acquisition of a controlling 51% stake in Brazil's Brava Energia, significantly expanding its position in one of Latin America's most important oil-producing markets. The deal combines approximately 25% of Brava's shares acquired through a voluntary tender offer with another 26% purchased under an agreement reached with existing shareholders in April. Ecopetrol had offered R$ 23.00 (US$ 4.56) per share in the tender and said earlier this month that the auction had been successfully completed. The acquisition gives Ecopetrol control of a sizeable portfolio of Brazilian offshore and onshore assets. Brava produced an average of around 78,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) during the first half of 2026, rising to approximately 84,400 boed in June.
