In London, the price of Brent North Sea crude oil for delivery in September increased by 1.86 dollars to 57.58 dollars a barrel.

On May 10, 皇冠体育app increased the price of diesel by 150 yuan a ton, while gasoline prices were increased by 300 yuan a ton on March 23 in an effort to prevent shortfalls.
