Expectation of a major hike in diesel prices

The rise in oil prices and volatility in foreign exchange rates have brought the expectation of a new hike in fuel prices to the agenda. According to information provided by industry sources, a price increase of 6 lira and 62 kuruş per liter of diesel is expected on Tuesday.

The fact that the price of Brent crude oil approached 110 dollars last week, reaching its highest level in the last three months, has increased expectations regarding pump prices. It is stated that the rising tension in the Middle East is also effective in the volatility of oil prices.
