  "summary": "The federal government has reduced the price of petrol by Rs6.59 per litre to Rs346 and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs4.25 per litre to Rs378, effective November 7, 2026. The revised prices will remain in effect until November 10, 2026, due to a public holiday on November 9. This price cut comes after petrol was previously priced at Rs352.59 per litre and diesel at Rs382.25 per litre. The move follows a decrease in global oil prices, driven by the election losses of US President Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which raised hopes of a de-escalation in the US-Israeli conflict with Iran and a stock market sell-off.",
