# The Central Energy Fund data shows petrol prices are under-recovering, signaling a likely increase in October. Petrol 93 may rise five-cents per litre, Petrol 95 by 13-cents, while diesel sees slight decreases. The fund says that the rand’s strength offsets some pressure, but rising international oil prices limit relief. Brent crude spiked to one-thousand-200-rand this week due to Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure, however, it eased back to one-thousand-162. Analysts warn any rand weakness could push recoveries into the red.
