Petrobras downgraded at BofA amid downward pressure on oil prices
As previously reported, BofA analyst Caio Ribeiro downgraded Petrobras (PBR) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of R$34, down from R$42, to reflect a more challenging macro outlook and rising regulatory risks. Despite the prevailing low-price environment, OPEC+ appears committed to regaining lost market share by persistently increasing oil production, while macro uncertainties are expected to continue weighing on global economic growth, putting downward pressure on oil prices, the analyst tells investors. In addition, the Brazilian government is contemplating an 'oil package' initiative in order to boost public coffers and Petrobras could be negatively impacted if such measures are implemented, the analyst added.

Putin Incentivizes Space Investors After Elon Musk's Russia Asylum Floated
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Private investment is needed to boost Russia's space industry, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. His comments come as a lawmaker in Russia floated the idea of offering political asylum to Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX. Dmitry Novikov, from Russia's international affairs committee, suggested Musk could be given asylum in Russia, following his public fallout with President Donald Trump, although there has been no confirmation of any formal offer being made. Putin asked the head of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, Dmitry Bakanov, about how to attract financial backers because of the need "to commercialize services." Newsweek has contacted Roscosmos for comment. File photo: Vladimir Putin sits with a pen on June 6, 2025 during a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects. File photo: Vladimir Putin sits with a pen on June 6, 2025 during a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National It Matters As part of its space strategy, Russia is looking to create its equivalent of the satellite system of Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX, which Musk heads. Musk's relationship with Trump continues to unravel, but there is no suggestion yet that he would fund such a Russian venture. However, Putin's call for private investment in a key strategic sector comes as the country has lost access to many Western technologies due to sanctions caused by the war he started. What To Know Putin has previously raised the need to attract nongovernmental funds for Russia's space sector. At a meeting of Russia's Council for Strategic Development and National Projects, the president asked Bakanov when private money will start flowing into Russia's space industry, news agency Tass reported Friday. As other countries use private funding for the space sector, Putin said investors in Russia's program would need to see how they can get a return on their money as he emphasized the need to commercialize such services. Bakanov responded that Russia's space projects included developing the "Rassvet" group, which will become the country's equivalent to Starlink in providing communications services, TASS reported. Another plan is the Russia selling high-resolution satellite images from 2026, for which a regulatory framework has already been set up. Bakanov had previously said Russia plans to launch over 1,000 satellites—including 886 for the "Rassvet" internet constellation—and would deploy more than 100 satellites in orbit to control drones, the publication Izvestia reported. Putin's comments coincide with the idea floated by Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma's international affairs committee, that Musk could be granted asylum in Russia, although he added that the SpaceX founder is unlikely to need it. Moscow has previously granted asylum to U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden, as well as the pro-Kremlin British blogger Graham Phillips. When asked to comment on the spat between Musk and Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was "a domestic issue of the United States, and we don't intend to interfere." What People Are Saying Russian President Vladimir Putin said on private funding Russia's space sector: "As long as the business does not have an understanding of how the invested money will be returned, there will be no movement." Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma's International Affairs Committee, said: "If (Musk) he did [need political asylum], of course, Russia could offer it." What Happens Next Putin has called for "regulatory documents" to be prepared for private funding of the space sector, although no time frame has been specified, according to Tass.

Bank of America says buy these five stocks that are set to rally
Bank of America thinks there's a slate of stocks worth snapping up and still have room to run. The firm said buy-rated companies like Nvidia have plenty of upside heading into summer. Other names include Philip Morris, Boot Barn, Amazon and Netflix . Netflix The streaming giant is firing on all cylinders and well positioned for growth, according to the firm. Analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich recently raised her price target on the stock to $1,490 per share from $1,175, reflecting on her bullish thesis. "Year-to-date, Netflix has been a top performer in our coverage driven by: sustained earnings momentum, positive subscriber trends and a defensive rotation related to tariffs," she wrote. There's more to come as the company ramps up its advertising technology ,which should help the bottom line, the analyst said. "We continue to view Netflix as well positioned given the company's unmatched scale in streaming, further runway for subscriber growth, significant opportunities in advertising and sports/live and continued earnings and [free cash flow] growth," Reif Ehrlich added. The stock is up 39% this year. Amazon Analyst Justin Post recently lifted his price target on the e-commerce giant to $248 per share from $230. The firm said that robotics are poised to play a key role in how Amazon operates and this should increase the company's already "competitive moats." Post said the use of drones along with robotics will help margins, as well further reduce delivery times. "Going forward, we expect Amazon to leverage robots to: 1) reduce labor dependency; 2) increase order accuracy; and 3) improve warehouse efficiency, driving material cost savings," he added. Meanwhile shares are up more than 15% over the past 12 months, and they have room for further growth, Post said. "We think Amazon is well positioned to capitalize on the global growth of eCommerce and other secular trends such as cloud computing, online advertising and connected devices," he added. Boot Barn The Western-themed footwear company is firing on all cylinders, according to Bank of America. Analyst Christopher Nardone recently raised his price target on the stock to $192 per share from $173 citing a slew of positive catalysts ahead. "We are encouraged that the acceleration in comp trends has been broad-based across major merchandise categories and geographies," he wrote. The firm said the company is a multi-year growth story with plenty more room to run. In addition, the pricing environment remains very friendly and could lead to share gains, Nardone added. "With larger scale comes better pricing, better selection, more exclusive brands, and better customer service," he said. The stock is up 8% this year. Netflix "Year-to-date, Netflix has been a top performer in our coverage driven by: sustained earnings momentum, positive subscriber trends and a defensive rotation related to tariffs. … We continue to view Netflix as well positioned given the company's unmatched scale in streaming, further runway for subscriber growth, significant opportunities in advertising and sports/live and continued earnings and FCF growth." Amazon "Going forward, we expect Amazon to leverage robots to: 1) reduce labor dependency; 2) increase order accuracy; and 3) improve warehouse efficiency, driving material cost savings. … Robotics could increase AMZN's competitive moats. … We think Amazon is well positioned to capitalize on the global growth of eCommerce and other secular trends such as cloud computing, online advertising and connected devices." Nvidia "AI demand/visibility remain strong, maintain Buy, top pick. … We maintain Buy, a top sector pick with a $180 PO as we believe NVDA remains best positioned to benefit from the ongoing AI tide, supported by a multi-year lead in performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support." Boot Barn "We are encouraged that the acceleration in comp trends has been broad-based across major merchandise categories and geographies. This gives us confidence BOOT isn't overearning in a specific geography or category. … With larger scale comes better pricing, better selection, more exclusive brands, and better customer service." Philip Morris "PM has been a top performer in the US market this year, led by execution, improving profitability in smoke-free, ZYN/IQOS volumes and continued contribution from combustibles to support SF [smoke free] growth. Its lack of exposure to China, tariff swings and its defensive nature is also attractive. As we see PM as well positioned to navigate external volatility, we boost our PO by $18 to $200."
