MG Morning Breeze: Updates to Skim before Market

Mettis Global's morning digest reported that the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division has revised ex-depot fuel prices effective August 13, 2026. High Speed Diesel, or HSD, became dearer by Rs0.54 per litre and now stands at Rs382.79. Motor spirit, or petrol, moved the other way, shedding Rs0.94 per litre to reach Rs324.98.

The two changes point in opposite directions, so diesel becomes costlier while petrol becomes cheaper from the same date. Both revisions take effect on the same day, and the digest presented them as a morning update for readers ahead of the market open. The text gives no reason for either movement.

Readers following the Pakistan Stock Exchange should note that the notice covers only these two products. No other fuel category appears in the revision described in the digest.
