UAE fuel prices out today: What to expect at the pump in September

## Current Fuel Prices

As of August, UAE motorists are paying Dh3.60 per litre for Super 98, Dh3.49 for Special 95, Dh3.41 for E-Plus 91, and Dh3.80 for diesel. These rates reflect adjustments in global energy markets.

## Brent Crude's Impact

Brent crude prices saw a decline in late August, settling at $89.31 per barrel, a drop of over 5% in a week. This decline was influenced by potential progress in shipping agreements through the Strait of Hormuz, although oil flows remain inconsistent.

## Pricing Mechanism

The UAE follows a market-linked fuel pricing policy, introduced in August 2015. This policy aligns domestic fuel prices with global markets, using international refined-product benchmarks rather than just crude prices.

## September Price Expectations

Given the late-August decline in Brent, a modest reduction in fuel prices is possible. However, the overall average for August was higher than July, making a significant price cut unlikely. A small decrease or stable prices are more plausible.

## Factors Influencing Prices

The final week of August saw a reduction in oil's geopolitical risk premium, contributing to the drop in Brent prices. However, strong global refined-product markets mean that crude price declines do not directly translate to lower UAE petrol prices.

## Conclusion

While a modest reduction in September fuel prices is possible, the UAE's pricing mechanism means that international market trends will continue to influence local rates over time.
