Now31 August 2026 at 10:39

The week begins with new changes in fuel prices in Portugal. The price of diesel will register a significant decrease, with a drop of about seven and a half cents per liter.

In the opposite direction, the price of gasoline suffers an increase, rising approximately one and a half cents per liter. Thus, this week brings opposite movements in the two main types of fuel.

Consumers who use diesel will benefit from this price reduction, while gasoline buyers will face a slight increase in costs. These changes represent a reversal from previous price trends.

Orlando under pressure: ICE presence affects businesses and worries local entrepreneurs

The intensification of ICE operations in the Orlando area, in Central Florida, is generating significant economic impacts on local small businesses. Entrepreneurs report concern about the reduction of immigrant workers, fear in the communities, and possible chain effects on the local economy. A Venezuelan restaurant in the tourist area has already been targeted by an operation that left the establishment without part of its team. Sectors such as gastronomy, services, and construction, which depend heavily on immigrant labor, are the most affected.

The agreement aims to increase Venezuelan oil production, however factors such as infrastructure restrictions, sanctions still in effect, and the time needed for new production to enter the market limit the impact on immediate prices. Analysts point out that Venezuelan oil is heavy and requires intensive processing, which may not meet the American market's demand for light fuels.
