Diesel price drops and gasoline rises next week

Diário de Aveiro28 August 2026 at 14:00

Diesel prices will drop and gasoline prices will rise next week, according to fuel market forecasts. This variation occurs in a context of fluctuation in international oil prices.

The update of the discount on the Excise Tax on Petroleum Products may alter the initially expected values for fuels. This possibility of adjustment may influence the final price that consumers will pay at the fuel pumps.

Motorists should be attentive to variations in the coming days, since changes in the ISP may modify previous estimates for fuel prices.

Memory shortage drives prices up and delays revolution

Massive demand for high-performance memory from data centers for training and running artificial intelligence models is causing a global shortage that has driven DRAM, HBM, and NAND memory prices up by between 80% and 500% over the past year. Production capacity is being diverted to servers, reducing supply for consumers and other equipment. Companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Dell, and HP have already raised prices on their products, with Microsoft raising Xbox console prices by up to 150 dollars. The crisis is slowing the mass adoption of AI, with smartphone sales falling 13.9% this year and average PC prices rising 18.3%. Analysts predict the situation will only stabilize by 2028, creating a two-speed AI adoption between large cloud operators and consumers.
