Brent at $95.49, WTI at $90.69. Energy market analysis with impact on Pakistan's economy and fuel prices.
Global energy markets are experiencing significant movements as supply and demand dynamics shift. This comprehensive analysis covers crude oil, natural gas, and their impact on Pakistan's economy.
Brent crude is rose 6.92% today. Oil prices are supported by OPEC+ production cuts and geopolitical risk premiums.
WTI crude is rose 5.75% to $90.69 per barrel.
Natural gas is rose 2.52% to $3.01 per MMBtu.
Stable to higher oil prices maintain pressure on Pakistan's current account. Watch for government fuel price adjustments.
| Fuel Type | Price (PKR/Liter) |
|---|---|
| Petrol (Hi-Octane) | Rs 280-300 |
| Diesel (High Speed) | Rs 260-280 |
| Kerosene | Rs 180-200 |
Short-term: Oil prices are likely to remain supported above $80 as OPEC+ maintains discipline.
Medium-term: The energy transition continues to reshape long-term demand expectations, but near-term supply constraints support prices.
Long-term: The shift toward renewable energy will gradually impact fossil fuel demand, but oil and gas will remain essential for decades.
