    BRAZILIAN state-run oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA posted quarterly results that missed expectations on Tuesday, although management flagged a potential production boost in the second quarter as new platforms ramp up output.

    Petrobras, as the firm is known, posted a quarterly profit of 4.03 billion reais (S$1.38 billion), down 42 per cent from the same period a year ago. That was well below the Refinitiv estimate of 5.36 billion reais.
