  "account": "Petrol and diesel prices in major Indian cities remained largely unchanged on August 7 despite fluctuations in crude oil prices, which were influenced by geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Despite setbacks in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, crude prices continued to rise, especially after Brent crude edged higher, trading around $83.45 a barrel. US Bank Asset Management Group's Rob Haworth noted that negotiations to reopen the strait remained elusive, with low shipping traffic and unclear prospects for a durable deal. Meanwhile, Iran launched fresh attacks on \"hostile targets\" in the Persian Gulf, with Tehran demanding compensation from hostile countries under the proposed Iran-Oman agreement. Despite these developments, the Indian retail fuel markets remained shielded from price fluctuations by state-owned oil marketing companies setting fuel rates.",
  "summary": "Petrol, diesel prices today — 7 Aug: Retail fuel rates held steady on 7 August, despite a rise in Brent crude caused by news of Iran strikes in Hormuz. Check fuel rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and other cities.",
