93 ULP will decrease by 24 cents a litre and 95 ULP by 17 cents, while illuminating paraffin will decline by 4 cents a litre and LP Gas by R2.96 cents a kilogram.

Senior Economist at First National Bank Koketso Mano says "The cut to fuel prices has been supported by the improvement in the rand while international product processes have generally moved sideways.

The risk to the rand is still material especially when considering key local risk events that are still yet to unfold and we think that its undervaluation should continue in the near term, adding upward pressure to imported inflation."
