China raises oil prices The benchmark gasoline factory price rose by 240 yuan (US$28.9) a ton, and the factory price of diesel oil went up by 220 yuan. The retail price will increase correspondingly. The price rise is likely to add further weight to inflation pressures on the economy, experts said. Crude oil prices in international markets have risen more than 40 percent in the past six months amidst worries of terrorist attacks on oil supply installations in the oil-rich Middle East, ever increasing global demand and uneasy situations in some oil producing countries. The crude price reached nearly US$50 a barrel in New York, and in the London Brent futures market, oil for delivery in 2005 jumped above US$40 a barrel for the first time last Friday. |
