On Aug 5 local time, Brazil's central bank MPC cut the benchmark policy rate to 14%, its fourth consecutive cut and the lowest level in nearly a year. Despite renewed Middle East conflict lifting oil prices and adding inflationary pressure in Brazil, markets expect the easing cycle to continue and price a further cut to 13.75% by end-2026.

Saudi Arabia trimmed the price of its flagship crude for Asian buyers as talks progress on an agreement to ease shipping pressure in the Strait of Hormuz. A pricing schedule showed Saudi Aramco cut Arab Light for next month’s Asia cargoes by $0.50/bbl to $2.00/bbl below the regional benchmark. The cut comes despite Houthi threats to Red Sea eastbound oil routes. A prior survey had shown traders expected Aramco to keep its flagship price unchanged. Brent has slid sharply this week, trading near $80/bbl.
