Brent fell USD 1.84 to USD 98.48 a barrel, while WTI dropped to USD 88.01, as supply fears eased. Reuters linked the move to recovering Middle East exports and the G7 decision to release crude and diesel reserves.
Why it matters for Paraguay
Petropar states that Paraguay is landlocked and a net importer of hydrocarbons. That leaves fuel and logistics costs exposed to international prices, transport conditions and the exchange rate even when Brent falls on a given day.
What investors should watch
Lower crude prices reduce pressure, but they do not remove energy risk. Reuters reported that Gulf crude flows have recovered faster than refined-product exports, while diesel, jet fuel and shipping costs remain sources of tension.
Radar Investment is watching four variables: Brent, international diesel prices, freight costs and the U.S. dollar. If flows stabilize, cost pressure could ease; renewed disruptions would keep the risk of a price rebound open. This is a risk assessment, not a price forecast.
