Oil price rises for the first time in 9 weeks Crude oil price rise due to attacks on oil-related facilities September 26, 16:37
This week's retail price of regular gasoline averaged 143.8 yen per liter, an increase of 0.9 yen from last week. The price rose for the first time in nine weeks and was affected by oil prices rising in Saudi Arabia.
According to the Petroleum Information Center, which has been commissioned by the government and is investigating gasoline prices, the national average retail price of regular gasoline as of the 24th of this month was 143.8 yen per liter, a 0.9 yen increase from last week.
The price rose for the first time in nine weeks, and according to the oil information center, the main factor was the rise in crude oil prices worldwide following the attack on Saudi oil related facilities on the 14th of this month.
Although the oil price has fallen from one period, the oil information center expects the gasoline price to continue to rise next week because it is still at a high level, but from the next week onwards, depending on future changes in crude oil prices. It is said.
