Pakistan’s OGRA raises August LPG price to Rs254 per kg; 11.8kg cylinder set at Rs3,001

AI Market Summary
Pakistan's OGRA raised regulated LPG prices for August, tightening domestic energy costs. Globally, crude markets showed mixed drivers: Middle East conflict risks persist, but improved flows through the Strait of Hormuz reduced near-term supply disruption fears. As a result, Brent and WTI fell on the day despite remaining up roughly 20% over the month, highlighting heightened headline sensitivity and two-way volatility in energy.
