According to data from the A-95 consulting group, retail prices for diesel fuel rose from 58.3 to 59.9 hryvnia per liter, or by 1.6 hryvnia per liter, between January 5 and January 30. while prices for A-95 gasoline rose from 58.2 to 60.3 hryvnia per liter, or by 2.1 hryvnia per liter.
According to A-95 director Sergey Kuyun, the reason for the rise in fuel prices in January is the global increase in oil prices.
“Today is January 30. Since the beginning of the month, the price of oil has risen from $60.7 to $70.7 (+16.5%). Global diesel fuel prices for the same period rose from $614 to $714/t (+16.2%),” he wrote on his Facebook page at the end of last week.
The expert also noted that wholesale prices for automotive diesel fuel in Ukraine rose from 48.52 to 52.46 UAH/liter, or by 4 UAH/liter (+4%), over the same period.
“In other words, we see that global prices rise first, followed by wholesale prices, and only then retail prices,” he said.
At the same time, according to A-95, prices for autogas rose by only 0.7 UAH/liter between January 5 and 30, from 37.6 to 38.3 UAH/liter.
