Russian gasoline prices rise 0.29% week-on-week, reversing prior stability

Rosstat data shows Russian consumer gasoline prices increased 0.29% in the week to October 5, following a flat week and a series of modest weekly gains since mid-August. The uptick suggests domestic fuel price pressures persist despite earlier declines in late July and early August. This matters for Russian inflation dynamics and potential policy responses, though the move is small and within recent volatility.
