Diesel still the main driver
Diesel continues to bear the brunt of the adjustments, reflecting tight global supply conditions and sustained volatility in crude prices.
The latest increases come on top of already elevated pump prices, further raising operating costs for transport groups and businesses dependent on fuel.
Prolonged pressure. The continued price hikes follow weeks of sustained increases linked to disruptions in global oil supply, particularly concerns over shipping routes in the Middle East.
With no immediate easing in global conditions, the latest round of adjustments is expected to strain transport fares, logistics costs and household expenses.
