Forecast · metroWhy this verdict
Queensland prices are on the way up.
Retail momentum — Station prices have been rising by about 1.2¢/L a day recently.
Oil prices — Oil priced in Australian dollars has been steady, adding no push either way.
Model outlook — Weighing both together, the model shifts its day-ahead outlook up by about 0.6¢/L a day.
Built from 363 days of price history at 72% model confidence. A smaller market, so the model is deliberately more cautious.
Past 30 days & next 7 days

The Queensland forecast starts from the same wholesale inputs every state shares — the price of oil in Australian dollars and the AUD/USD exchange rate. When these move, pump prices tend to follow.

How it's built
