GAS-2.00%
According to South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, on July 24, the government froze the eighth-period maximum petroleum prices at their previous levels: 1,784 won per liter for gasoline, 1,773 won for diesel, and 1,380 won for kerosene. The decision, effective from July 25 for four weeks, reflects concerns over regional oil supply disruptions caused by escalating Middle East tensions and Houthi naval blockades in the Red Sea. International crude oil prices surged to $100 per barrel on Brent basis on July 23. Domestically, actual retail prices currently stand at 1,871 won for gasoline and 1,856 won for diesel, and are expected to remain in the 1,800-won range.
