Russian gasoline prices rise 0.58% weekly, diesel flat; trend continues

Russian consumer gasoline prices rose 0.58% in the week to September 7, following a 0.91% increase the prior week, while diesel prices edged up 0.04%. This continues a recent pattern of modest weekly increases after two weeks of declines in late July and early August. The data, from Rosstat, indicates steady but mild inflationary pressure in Russian fuel markets, with no signs of acute supply disruption.
