This increase occurs amid strong geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with oil prices pressured by the Strait of Hormuz closure and volatility in international markets.

Based on current figures from the Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG) and the increases disclosed to Lusa by the National Association of Fuel Retailers ANAREC, taking into account market opening values, from Monday onwards, the average price of petrol should be around €1.883 per litre, while regular diesel could reach €1.937 per litre.
