Gasoline will rise by 13 bani and will cost 29.66 lei per liter, while diesel fuel will fall by 17 bani to 31.93 lei per liter.
Against the background of the ongoing energy crisis, the phenomenon of the decrease in diesel fuel prices can be explained by two main factors: the decrease in world quotations for oil and oil products, as well as the strengthening of the Moldovan leu against the dollar.
However, the first version falls away, as oil prices were rising all the previous week. And on March 30, 2026, they showed a sharp increase: the cost of Brent crude oil exceeded $115 per barrel for the first time since mid-March, due to the tension in the Middle East. According to trading data, the price of June Brent futures rose above $115.65 per barrel, showing an increase of more than 2.5%.
The dollar also rose over the weekend, from 17.56 to almost 17.62 lei.
Thus, there is no stable trend for cheaper fuel. Most likely, NRATI overestimated the marginal prices on Friday and just corrected them today. Therefore, the growth of fuel prices may resume tomorrow.
