Bolsonaro ruled out the possibility of tabulating the price of the product to control the impacts and said he\u2019ll discuss the matter with his economic team and the head of Institutional Security Office (GSI), general Augusto Heleno.<\/p>\n<p>The attack also killed Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, deputy chairman of the Popular Mobilization Forcers, an Iraqi militia supported by Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The US bombing on Baghdad International Airport may stir up tensions and cause repercussions all over the word. \u201cWe\u2019ve received some intel [about the strike] during the early morning, and I\u2019m meeting with Heleno [of GSI] to catch up with it before I can issue an opinion,\u201d said the president while leaving Pal\u00e1cio da Alvorada.<\/p>\n<p>Despite acknowledging concerns about impacts on the country\u2019s economy, the government has no plans to intervene in fuel price policies, such as tabulations. \u201cIt will definitely impact. Then we\u2019ll see our limit here, because it\u2019s already high and, if it goes up, it&#8217;ll get complicated. But I can\u2019t tabulate anything. We\u2019ve done this kind of tabulating policy before and it didn\u2019t work out. Now I\u2019ll talk with those who really understand about the matter,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hike<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shortly before 2 pm (Bras\u00edlia time), the oil barrel price reached USD 62.56 in New York, up 2.26%, and USD 68.10 in London, up 2.79%.<\/p>\n<p><em>*With information from ANBA&#8217;s newsroom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-265355\">Valter Campanato\/Ag\u00eancia Brasil<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazilian president said that the bombing in Baghdad, Iraq that killed Iranian military leader, will impact prices in Brazil but ruled out tabulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":265355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[7486,9576,11959,2810,591,27310,1964,11961,2826],"class_list":{"0":"post-265357","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-conflict","9":"tag-gas-en","10":"tag-gas-ar","11":"tag-iran","12":"tag-iraq","13":"tag-iraque-en","14":"tag-oil","15":"tag-petroleo-ar","16":"tag-us"},"wps_subtitle":"Brazilian president said that the bombing in Baghdad, Iraq that killed Iranian military leader, will impact prices in Brazil but ruled out tabulation.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2315"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
