Fuel prices in Romania are expected to soften over the coming weeks, with gasoline projected to trade between 7.90 and 8.20 lei per liter and diesel between 8.40 and 8.80 lei by month-end.
The downward trajectory reflects a broader normalization in energy markets, contingent on the absence of new geopolitical escalations or significant tax adjustments.
The forecast aligns with a wider trend of easing supply constraints and a shrinking geopolitical risk premium.
Market participants have been bracing for lower gasoline prices as industry experts point to stabilizing logistics and reduced uncertainty in key shipping corridors.
This shift marks a departure from the volatility that characterized earlier quarters, offering a brief respite for consumers and logistics operators alike.
The price moderation is closely tied to diplomatic developments in the Middle East.
