Fuel prices have fallen for several weeks as Gulf oil exports resume, France 24 reports. The decline eases part of the rise that the broadcaster links to the war in Iran and the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, but European prices remain well above their pre-war level.
France 24 attributes the movement to renewed Gulf oil exports. After the sharp increase described following the start of the war and the Hormuz disruption, the return of exports has accompanied the fall in fuel prices.
That fall does not mean Europe has returned to pre-war fuel-price levels. The broadcaster also reports that the average US price fell below $6 on Saturday. That US figure cannot be used to infer a French pump price.
The supplied material provides neither French retail prices nor the measured size of the decline or export volumes. It also does not show whether the easing reported in Europe has reached French retail forecourts. The reported development is clear: renewed Gulf exports accompany lower fuel prices, while Europe remains above its pre-war level.
