Oil prices soar and barrel already exceeds 100 dollars

RTP Notícias9 September 2026 at 12:50

Oil prices have soared and the barrel has crossed the 100-dollar threshold. Brent crude, which serves as a reference for Europe, registered a significant appreciation, reaching its highest level since July.

The escalating tension in the Middle East is behind this sharp rise in crude prices. Markets reacted with concern to the increase in tensions in the region, triggering a rush to oil prices.

This rise represents a return to levels not seen in several months, reflecting the geopolitical uncertainties that continue to affect global energy markets.

Trump confirms Brazil as meat supplier to the US and faces resistance from cattle ranchers

President Donald Trump confirmed that Brazil and Argentina will be the main suppliers of beef imported by the United States, within a strategy to increase supply and reduce prices for the American consumer. The government opened space for the entry of 300,000 additional metric tons of lean beef with reduced tariff for 90 days, destined mainly for ground beef production, while the American herd recovers from the lowest level in approximately 75 years. The measure generated strong reaction from cattle ranchers and Republican lawmakers, who fear harm to local producers and sanitary risks such as the reintroduction of foot-and-mouth disease. The announcement occurred during an event in the Oval Office with the presence of Joesley Batista, controller of JBS, the world's largest meat processor. Simultaneously, the government signed executive orders to expand competition in the processing sector, allowing producers to sell meat directly between states.
