China hikes retail fuel prices

China increased the retail prices of gasoline and diesel starting Tuesday, reflecting changes in international oil prices, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said. The price of standard gasoline was raised by 70 yuan ($10.80) a ton and diesel by 65 yuan. It was the 13th retail fuel price adjustment made by the NDRC this year and the third consecutive increase. The NDRC predicted that international oil prices will continue a volatile trend in the short term.
