AGO 14, 2026 - Reuters

Hopes that July's high oil and energy costs would quickly dissipate on moves to end the Iran war have run aground again this month. Brent crude prices probed US$ 90 per barrel this week as it became increasingly clear that the two sides in the war are still far apart. Iran continues to assert control over the Hormuz strait and sporadic attacks continue in the Gulf and Red Sea, while the U.S. said on Thursday (Aug. 13) it could maintain a blockade on Iran's ports indefinitely. Importantly, transits through Hormuz fell this week and less crude may be escaping the Gulf than the U.S. believes. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright claims almost nine million barrels per day, but the companies that track vessel movements say at best it is about half this volume. What of total exports from the Middle East? This would include cargoes leaving from Saudi Arabia's Yanbu port in the Red Sea, as well as shipments from Oman and the Fujairah facility in the United Arab Emirates. Kpler data shows crude shipments of 9.53 million bpd in the week beginning August 3, and a four-week average of 12.26 million bpd.

Brazil officially started the process on Thursday (Aug. 13) to potentially invoke its Economic Reciprocity Law against the United States. This move is a response to the Trump administration’s 25% tariff on Brazilian exports, marking an escalation in the trade dispute and increasing diplomatic tensions between the two nations. This action represents the first move towards possible retaliation, coming a month after Washington announced the Section 301 tariff. Brazil’s Foreign Affairs Ministry has informed the U.S. government of the start of the process and has requested diplomatic consultations, according to the presidential communications office. The government emphasized that these consultations reinforce its willingness to prioritize dialogue and negotiation in its international relations. “Over the past year, the Brazilian government has consistently worked with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to end the Section 301 investigations and has presented evidence refuting each allegation of purported unfair trade practices by Brazil,” the statement said.

The Brazilian government on Wednesday (Aug. 12) published a decree that establishes rules and regulations for the country’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate, formally referred to as the National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Program (ProBioQAV). ProBioQAV was established by Brazil’s Fuel of the Future Law in October 2024. The program requires domestic airline operators to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions starting with a 1% reduction in 2027 and scaling up to a 10% reduction in 2037. Notably, the program includes a book-and-claim chain-of-custody model that allows the physical product and its environmental attributes to be traded by different commercial operations and purchasers. Under the newly announced regulations, the carbon intensity (CI) of SAF can be determined during the REnovaBio carbon intensity calculation tool or the ICAO CORISA methodology.

Brazil leads searches for "residential solar energy" among countries in the Americas, according to data from a survey published by Energy Bulb, a provider of solar energy by subscription. The study analyzed the average monthly volume of searches performed in Google The term was adapted to the language of each country, and the results were adjusted proportionally for every 100 inhabitants. The period considered was from June 2025 to May 2026. With a search rate of 0,42 per 100 inhabitants, Brazil stands alone in first place. This result is more than three times higher than that of Trinidad and Tobago, which comes in second with 0,13. The United States and Costa Rica are tied for second place, with an index of 0,08. According to the company, adjusting the results for population allows for comparison of countries of different sizes. Therefore, Brazil does not appear in the lead simply because it has a larger population: the indicator considers the volume of surveys proportionally per 100 inhabitants.
