Petrobras Quarterly Profit Beats Estimates on Export Growth

E-Minis Unfair Advantage....Have You Watch This Yet?

Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4), the world’s biggest oil producer in deep waters, said first quarter profit topped analysts’ expectations because of increased revenue from crude exports and higher fuel prices.

Net income dropped 16 percent to 9.2 billion reais ($4.6 billion), or 71 centavos a share, from 10.99 billion reais, or 84 centavos, a year earlier, Brazil’s state controlled producer said late yesterday. Per share profit beat the 64 centavo average of four analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

Petrobras increased prices for gasoline and diesel by 10 percent and 2 percent, respectively, on Nov. 1. The first boost in more than three years reduced the discount to international prices. Oil exports rose 20 percent to 497,000 barrels a day after the company sold inventories it accumulated in late 2011, Petrobras said in a regulatory filing.

“The company’s increase in oil exports and its use of inventories at lower prices mainly explained the better than expected operating performance in the period,” Bradesco SA analysts led by Auro Rozenbaum said in a note to clients distributed today.

Natural Gas Closes Lower Posting an Inside Day

Crude oil closed lower due to profit taking on Friday as it consolidated some of this spring's rally. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If July extends the rally off April's low, the 38% retracement level of the 2008-2009 decline crossing at 82.38 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 65.67 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.
