The São Paulo Stock Exchange index (Ibovespa) closed this Wednesday (30) with a rise of 0,71%, with 76.609 points. The last week of May saw the index fluctuating due to the effects of the truckers' strike and the impacts on Petrobras after the federal government reduced the price of diesel by R$ 0,46 at the fuel pumps.
Monday's trading session (28) registered a drop of 4,51%, fluctuating with a rise of 0,83% at yesterday's close.
Petrobras shares also followed the fluctuations in the Ibovespa index, with investors paying close attention to the state-owned company's stock. Preferred shares, which entitle them to dividends, closed down 1,35% on Wednesday, while ordinary shares, which have voting rights, closed down 0,22%.
