Motorists may have to brace for hefty increases in petrol and diesel prices at the pumps in September, according to analysis by the Central Energy Fund (CEF).

CEF’s fuel price data for the last day of August indicates a substantial under-recovery of between R1.59 and R1.65 per litre for petrol, while diesel saw an even larger under-recovery of between R2.76 and R2.84 per litre.

According to the energy department, an under-recovery means that fuel consumers are paying less for a product on a particular day than the market value, while an over-recovery would suggest the opposite.

Although such data fluctuates throughout the month, the anticipated change in the basic fuel price becomes more of a reality closer to the first Wednesday of the new month when the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy announces the revised prices.

For Septmeber motorists could find themselves paying between R24.00 and R24.48 per litre of petrol, while wholesale diesel prices may jump to between R23.06 and R23.28 per litre.

Upward pressure on fuel price

Movements in international product prices play a significant role in steering the local fuel price. This month, global product prices have fluctuated between various extremes of under-recovery.

The latest data from the CEF shows that international product prices accounted for between R1.32 and R1.35 per litre of the under-recovery in petrol prices and R2.44 and R2.53 of that in diesel.

In a note issued earlier this week, FNB senior economist Koketso Mano confirmed that fuel price hikes are likely next week as August brought a weaker rand and higher international product prices.

Looking at the oil markets, we regard them to remain tight, supported by the cumulative [outputs] and falling inventories, but we also think there are still demand side issues. China’s recovery remains lethargic and subject to meaningful state support; meanwhile, the Fed remains hawkish as it asserts that the fight against inflation is not over, so rates in that economy are likely to remain restricted in the near term.

“This suggests that while tighter supply has supported prices, demand headwinds prevail, capping price increases. Also, additional supply could enter the market from producers such as Iran and Venezuela, potentially relaxing supply concerns,” Mano says.
