UAE petrol prices are set to increase in September, with diesel prices experiencing the most significant rise at 13%. The increase includes Super 98, which will go up by 5.5%, Special 95 by 5.7%, and E-Plus 91 by 5.86%. The new prices will be Dh3.80 for Super 98, up from Dh3.60 in August, Dh3.69 for Special 95, higher than Dh3.41, E-Plus 91: Dh3.61, and Dh4.30 for diesel, compared to Dh3.80 last month.
The cost of fuel in the UAE has been linked to global oil markets since 2015, following a deregulation. Prices at the pump fell for the first time in five months in July after the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire. However, both oil benchmarks, Brent and West Texas Intermediate, rose to intraday highs of about $126 a barrel and $119 a barrel in late April.
After a sharp drop, prices rose again in August due to renewed hostilities, with Brent surpassing $94 a barrel, and WTI hitting $87 per barrel. Despite the recent stabilization, petrol prices continue to be affected by the volatile global oil market.
