    Dollar slips after debt ceiling bill progresses; payrolls due later

    The U.S. dollar slipped lower in early European trade Friday, adding to the previous session’s sharp losses after the U.S. Congress approved the debt ceiling bill, while traders awaited the widely watched monthly payrolls release. The U.S. Senate late Thursday passed legislation lifting the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, a day after the House of Representatives had done the same. The bill now heads to the White House for President Joe Biden to sign it into law, averting what would have been a first-ever default as the Treasury Department had warned it would be unable to pay all its bills on June 5 if Congress failed to act by then.

    UPDATE 2-Brazil's Petrobras revises strategic plan to boost low-carbon investments

    Brazilian state-run oil company Petrobras on Thursday said its board of directors had approved a revision of part of its 2023-2028 strategic plan in a bid to increase investments in low-carbon initiatives. Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, said in a securities filing that under the new plan it would target 6% to 15% of its total capital expenditure (CAPEX) for low carbon, up from 6% in the 2023-2027 strategic plan. The move, Petrobras said, is aimed at preparing the company for the energy transition, "reconciling the current focus on oil and gas with the search for diversification of our portfolio in low-carbon businesses."

    Petrobras eyes global expansion as Brazil hopes fade, sources say

    Brazil's Petrobras may look abroad for future growth, two sources with knowledge of the state-run firm's plans told Reuters, after environmental regulators dashed its hopes of exploring near the Amazon River where it had aimed to make its first major domestic oil discovery in over a decade. Petroleo Brasileiro, as the company is formally known, has spent years reducing its international footprint to focus on deepwater assets in Brazil's vaunted pre-salt areas, so its impulse to explore foreign opportunities is an about-face. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, during his last mandate in 2008, compared the first major oil discoveries pre-salt fields far off Brazil's coastline to a winning lottery ticket.
