What did the July spike run?
Price hikes in July were one of the most seen in recent months. Analysts had widely expected the jump, it is responsible for the increase in global crude oil prices during June. This growth increased geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. A sharp growth between Israel and Iran, including the US air strike at the Iranian nuclear sites, feared supply disruption in the entire region. These developments led the rally in the global raw markets, which led to an increase in prices and in turn, affected fuel rates in the UAE.
Understanding how UAE fuel prices are determined
The fuel pricing in the UAE follows a deregulated model introduced in August 2015, connecting local petrol and diesel rates to international oil prices. This policy ensures transparency and aligns retail prices with global market conditions. Every month, the UAE Fuel Price Committee reviews global trends and announces new rates – currently during the last days of the month. These rates are effective from 1 day of next month. This approach means that the UAE motorists feel the impact of both upwing and droplets in the international energy market, which encourages more efficient fuel use by maintaining pricing fairness.
