World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported46m ago
Chile has registered a third consecutive price increase for gasoline and diesel, according to announcements made on Thursday, September 10. The state-run Empresa Nacional de Petróleo (Enap) reported that the latest adjustment includes a diesel price hike of USD 0.09 per liter.
The fuel price increases in Chile coincide with a renewed escalation of military conflicts in the Middle East and recent attacks on energy facilities in Russia. These geopolitical tensions have significantly impacted global energy markets, pushing the price of WTI crude oil above 100 dollars per barrel.
The timing of the fuel hikes has raised early concerns for the government, coinciding with the approach of the upcoming Fiestas Patrias celebrations in Chile.
