Análise de eventos socioeconômicos e políticos que impactaram o preço das ações da Petrobras entre 2016 e 2018

Abstract

The political and economic situation found in Brazil currently has a strong connection with events that took place from 2016 to 2018, which include the impeachment of the mandate of the president of Brazil, the truck drivers' strike, and the dollar crisis. As it is the largest state-owned company in the country and because it has great importance in the national context, Petrobras was chosen to demonstrate how the stock market reacted to each of these events. This article aimed to achieve an understanding of the impacts of these events on the prices of preferred shares of the state-owned company, denominated on the stock exchange as PETR4, as they encompass investors who also seek the company's dividends. For this, an event analysis was carried out, where the history of stock value movements were collected and their impacts analyzed over the periods studied, thus creating a critical analysis of the facts that generated the impacts of each event and its shocks on Brazilian society.
