Will Petrol Prices Increase in August 2025?
Global oil market under pressure
Brent crude oil prices were around $69.46 per barrel at the end of July, up slightly from June. The main reasons behind the price increase are:
- US-Japan trade deal
- Increased summer travel demand
- OPEC+ output hike
Global oil prices are expected to rise on the back of increased summer travel and electricity demand, said Vijay Valecha, CEO of Zachary Financial.
Is there a possibility of a decrease in petrol prices?
Some experts believe that:
- Global supply increases: Supply increased by 950,000 barrels per day in June
- Refineries reduce stocks at the end of summer
- Inflation decline: The UAE inflation rate is expected to be 1.9% in 2025
Although a major decline in prices is unlikely, stabilization or a slight decrease is possible.
