The new rate of petrol was now Rs323.38 per litre and high-speed diesel was Rs318.18.Sunday’s decision was taken in view of the fall of oil prices in the international market where the price of petrol had fallen by $12 per barrel. But earlier this week oil prices leapt nearly 6%, with Brent posting its highest weekly gain since February, as investors priced in the possibility that the conflict in the Middle East could widen as Israel began ground raids inside the Gaza Strip.Brent futures settled up $4.89, or 5.7%, at $90.89 per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained $4.78, or 5.8%, to $87.69 a barrel. SuchTV, 16 Oct, 2023
