In Kabul, the latest market trends show a decrease in fuel and cooking oil prices, while gold prices have risen. According to The Frontier Post, petrol prices dropped from 59 afghanis to 57 afghanis per liter, and diesel prices saw a similar decrease. Liquefied gas also fell from 54 afghanis to 52 afghanis per kilogram. Zmarai Safi from the Food Traders’ Association attributed these declines to lower global fuel prices and increased imports, noting that a 16-liter bottle of Malaysian cooking oil decreased from 1,950 afghanis to 1,900 afghanis. However, prices for other essential food items, such as Kazakh flour and Pakistani rice, remained stable. Gold prices, on the other hand, experienced an uptick, with Arabian gold rising from 8,050 afghanis to 8,200 afghanis per gram, reflecting international market fluctuations.
