Expected rise in fuel prices next week
Fuel prices are set to increase significantly next week, with diesel and gasoline experiencing considerable hikes.
According to estimates from the Automóvel Clube de Portugal (ACP) and ANAREC, fuel prices are expected to rise next week. Diesel is projected to increase by around 10 cents per liter, while gasoline is expected to rise by approximately 9 cents per liter.
Forecasts indicate that the average price of diesel could exceed two euros per liter, while gasoline may reach about 1.98 euros per liter. This trend was reported by SAPO 24.
Additionally, RTP mentions that the increase for diesel may vary between 8 and 10 cents, and between 8.5 and 9 cents for gasoline. This price variation reflects market instability.
The confirmation of this increase will depend on the market close, which could impact the current estimates. This element of uncertainty is a factor to consider in forecasting prices for next week.
Consumer and expert expectations are that this change will be felt significantly, as the price increase aligns with fluctuations in the international fuel market.
