Petrol, Diesel Price – The prices have remained stable as there has been some softening in the prices of crude oil. On Tuesday, Brent crude settled up 73 cents, or 1.1 per cent, at USD 69.35 a barrel after sliding 6.8 per cent on Monday, Reuters has reported. The global benchmark has fallen from a peak at more than USD 77 hit in early July - its highest since late 2018.
US crude ended up USD 1, or 1.5 per cent to USD 67.42 in its final day of trading, after hitting a low of USD 65.21 on Tuesday. The contract fell 7.5 per cent on Tuesday, this report said.

However, the near term outlook still remains positive. Ravindra Rao of Kotak Securities expects WTI Crude to hold at USD 77-78, Zee Business had recently reported. Meanwhile, Kunal Shah of Nirmal Bang said that the upside remains but the prices are unlikely to go beyond USD 80.

A higher price could lead to further escalation in prices considering that the price of petrol and diesel have been increasing regularly.
