Fuel ceilings are going up for the long weekend.

Fuel prices in the Czech Republic have increased slightly over the weekend, with gasoline rising by 17 haléřů and diesel by 15 haléřů compared to Friday. The Ministry of Finance announced these price caps in the Price Bulletin. The average price of the most sold gasoline, Natural 95, rose by one koruna to 39.07 korun per liter in the previous week. Diesel averaged 35.44 korun per liter, up five haléřů from a week earlier. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová stated that if international conditions remain stable and oil prices do not fluctuate, the price controls are expected to end completely by July 19. Fuel prices began rising rapidly after attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel at the beginning of February and March, especially after Tehran blocked the strategic Hormuz Strait, through which about a fifth of global oil and gas supplies pass. The North Sea Brent crude oil reached 72 dollars per barrel (1530 korun) on Friday morning, while American light crude oil WTI did not exceed 69 dollars per barrel (1466 korun).

The price ceiling for both gasoline and diesel will rise slightly

The Czech Ministry of Finance has slightly increased the price ceiling for gasoline and diesel fuel. Gasoline prices can now be up to 1 halér higher than in previous days, while diesel prices can increase by 7 haléřů. This decision follows recent global events, including attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel at the end of February and beginning of March, which led to a significant rise in oil prices. The closure of the strategic Hormuz Strait by Tehran, through which about a fifth of global oil and gas supplies pass, further contributed to this increase. As of Monday morning, the price of Brent crude oil reached $72 per barrel (1534 koruna), while American light crude oil WTI did not exceed $70 per barrel (1491 koruna).

It also uses similar phrasing to the first article, suggesting a potential lack of independent
