Gasoline prices are expected to drop next week, according to the latest forecasts. However, diesel may rise again, reversing the downward trend seen recently.
This variation occurs in a context of instability in international energy markets. Crude oil surpassed 100 dollars per barrel again on Wednesday, which directly influences fuel prices at filling stations.
Increases in the price of crude have a direct impact on the costs of fuel production and distribution, which is reflected in the prices charged to consumers. The volatility of the oil market has been a dominant characteristic in recent months.
