South Africa’s producer price index raced to a 13-year high of 11.9% in March, while consumer inflation is just inside the central bank’s 3% to 6% target range. This bit of relatively good news has been overshadowed by the increase in diesel and paraffin prices. The idea of petrol costing more than R20 a litre is still a shock to most South Africans.

Petrol price cut likely to be trimmed by a weaker rand (Independent Online)

THE weakening rand/dollar exchange rate has wiped out chances of a reasonably substantial cut in the petrol price tomorrow, even though oil prices have ...

It was trading at R15.83 per dollar just after midday Friday, indicating a more than 7.5 percent devaluation in the local currency. The weakening rand was also a big driver behind the fuel price over-recovery reducing. Last month saw a relatively mild petrol price increase of 36 cents per litre as the price was shielded by the R1.50 per litre cut in the fuel levy, with diesel prices up by just more than R1.50 per litre instead of around R3 per litre, as the cut in the levy protected motorists from the brunt of high oil prices in March. The price was last at $106.03 per barrel at the weekend. Since March, the oil price had dropped to around $105 (R1581) per barrel (/bbl), averaging $105.6/bbl or R1 580/bbl versus March’s R1 679/bbl ($112/bbl), and so yielding a likely cut of R15c/litre in South Africa’s petrol price (94.5c/litre for diesel) from these metrics, said Bishop. At mid-April, petrol was set for a 34 cents per litre decline, and diesel prices were in line for a 67 to 71 cents per litre increase.
