Samuel Sagas, a consultant at 3A Investmentos, says it is too early to calculate the impact of the announcement on the financial markets. Although he considers Adriano Pierce to be a well-prepared candidate, he believes that, unlike General Silva e Luna, Goyalho has minimal technical support.

– Uncertainty is the cause of most problems in the business market. It is already positive to give a definition now, ”he added.

According to Rodrigo Crespi, an analyst at Guide Investmentos, the reaction of investors should not be negative when a military veteran is hired. However, considering the history of experiences in the public sector, he believes that Goelho could very easily be affected by Bolsanaro’s influence in changing fuel policy.

– I think Byrne is very technical and he will delight the market a lot. We need to understand what Goyalho thinks about the principle of international equality, he says.

William Castro Alves, Avenue’s chief strategist, suggests that the new candidate is a name that does not excite the market:

– This is someone who participated in the government, walked out due to disagreement. Perhaps someone who can provide guidance to a company that does not escape state control. Therefore, ADRs do not bring much reflection. If we think about it, we will have an election. How far will this new president stay in Petropras?

Economist Alvaro Bandera believes that the market will gain a good reputation as he has experience in the field and is not at odds with interests. Nevertheless, he says it is negative that the image of a state-owned company has undergone so many changes in such a short period of time.

Marcio Andrade Weber, who is already a consultant at a state-owned company, believes he is “in constant news” of being nominated for the position of chairman of the company’s board of directors.

Marco Saravalle, partner at SaraInvest, holds a similar position:

– I think they should be well received in the market. These two names are closely linked to the state side, but the important thing is to understand that they are individuals who value technical and competent personality. Meeting the prerequisites for occupying these positions is a very difficult task.
