  "summary": "Petrol prices are set to drop by up to 2.90% to around GH¢15.82 per litre, while diesel is expected to rise by 1.39%, potentially reaching GH¢17.73 per litre, according to a mixed review of petroleum prices at the pumps. The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has reduced its price floor for the second pricing window of August, with petrol falling from GH¢14.53 to GH¢13.92 per litre and diesel decreasing from GH¢16.97 to GH¢15.19 per litre. These changes are largely driven by international market developments, such as a 2.02% rise in average crude oil prices to US$90.41 per barrel, which has led to varying price movements for refined petroleum products.",
