UAE fuel prices for March out today: Petrol, diesel to now get costlier?

## March Fuel Price Announcement

The UAE is set to announce its fuel prices for March today. Following a decrease in February, there is speculation that prices might rise due to recent increases in global oil prices.

## Recent Trends in Fuel Pricing

Since deregulating fuel prices in 2015, the UAE has adjusted rates monthly based on global oil market trends. February saw lower prices, with Super 98 at Dh2.45, Special 95 at Dh2.33, E-Plus 91 at Dh2.26, and diesel at Dh2.52. This followed a reduction from January's rates.

## Factors Influencing March Prices

Oil prices have surged recently, driven by geopolitical tensions, particularly between the US and Iran. Brent crude has been trading near $71, with a noted risk premium due to these tensions. Analysts suggest that this could lead to a modest increase in UAE fuel prices for March.

## What to Expect

While a sharp increase in prices is not anticipated unless tensions escalate further, a slight rise is likely. Diesel prices, in particular, may be more sensitive to these changes. The official rates will be confirmed today by the UAE Fuel Price Committee.
