OPEC petroleum rises 5.6% to 123.11 dollars, the highest value since April

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 12:15

OPEC petroleum reached 123.11 dollars per barrel, representing a rise of 5.6% that constitutes the highest value since April. This value represents an increase of 6.51 dollars in relation to Friday's quote.

The barrel used as reference by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries registers six consecutive sessions of gains. In the accumulated period, the valorization is 26%.

OPEC is the organization responsible for these quotes, with its member countries being the main global producers of crude petroleum.

Why this matters

The significant increase in the price of petroleum directly affects consumers at the fuel level, raising transportation and energy costs. This price increase can also pressure inflation and production costs in various economic sectors.

Deco Proteste warns: lower income tax withholdings don't mean paying less tax. Bill may come later

Deco Proteste warned that the reduction in IRS source withholdings may leave more money available in salary in the final months of the year, but doesn't necessarily mean paying less tax. According to the consumer defense organization, taxpayers may have to settle accounts with the tax authorities when they file their annual IRS return, so they should be careful not to confuse immediate cash in hand with an actual reduction in tax burden.
