Fuel prices in Switzerland have risen again after a brief period of easing. According to the latest data from the Swiss Automobile Club (TCS), unleaded gasoline 95 increased by 2.4 percent to 2.16 Swiss francs per liter, while unleaded 98 rose by 2.3 percent to 2.27 francs per liter. Diesel prices also climbed by 2.1 percent to 2.45 francs per liter, just one cent below the annual high reached in mid-September. The price increases are attributed to tight conditions on international fuel markets and transportation challenges in Switzerland, including low water levels on the Rhine River, which have increased import costs. Meanwhile, oil prices on international markets slightly declined on Friday, with Brent crude trading at around $105 per barrel, still significantly higher than the level before the Iran conflict began in late February.
