Prices for summer-grade diesel fuel fell by more than 3% over the past week on Russia's St Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange, according to trading data, marking one of the steeper weekly declines seen in the fuel market recently.
Gasoline prices also softened over the same period. The AI-92 grade, a widely used fuel benchmark in Russia, lost 0.64% on Friday alone and was down 0.67% for the week as a whole.
Broader price pressure
The declines in both diesel and gasoline reflect ongoing volatility in Russia's domestic fuel market, where prices have fluctuated in response to shifts in supply, refinery output and seasonal demand patterns. Summer-grade diesel in particular tends to see price movement tied to seasonal transitions in fuel specifications.
No specific cause for the latest weekly decline was detailed in the exchange data. Market participants typically watch such weekly shifts closely, as fuel prices on the exchange can factor into broader domestic pricing trends across the country.
