OREANDA-NEWS According to the National Stock Exchange Pricing Agency (NBCA, St. Petersburg Stock Exchange), on October 28, the values of gasoline price indices on the stock market decreased throughout Russia and reached the level of the last days of August 2025. The total volume of gasoline sales decreased.

"In the wholesale segment, 32.82 thousand tons of gasoline were sold at stock auctions, which is 8.2% lower than the trading results on October 27. Sales of Regular-92 decreased by 3.4% (or -0.72 thousand tons) to 20.4 thousand tons. Sales of Premium-95 decreased by 14.6% (-2.1 thousand tons) and amounted to 12.24 thousand tons. The volume of unsatisfied residual demand decreased for the fourth trading day in a row, according to the results of the current trading session, residual demand for Regular-92 amounted to 3.3 thousand tons (or 16.2% of sales), this figure is the lowest for the period from September to October 2025," the NBCA said in its materials.

Interfax's interlocutors in the fuel market explain the drop in the price of Ai-92 by factors of lower seasonal demand, as well as by the fact that there was a prolonged period of too high gasoline prices. Refineries are gradually coming out of scheduled repairs, and the shipment of exchange-traded petroleum products by oil companies to customers has become more active. All this combined last week led to expectations of a correction in stock prices in the gasoline segment. The sharp drop in prices for Ai-92 at the beginning of this week was triggered by the introduction of new US and EU sanctions against the Russian oil industry, the agency's interlocutors add.

They expect that the decline in stock prices for petroleum products will continue in the coming days. However, it is unlikely to be long for gasoline, since there are no strict restrictions on the fall in the stock price, while the increase in the cost of fuel on the stock exchange is limited to a step of 0.01%.
