Bloomberg Línea reports on gasoline prices across Latin America as energy inflation and Middle East tensions keep pressure on fuel costs. Jonathan Fortun of the IIF said the region is entering a harder phase than the first half, with Brent back above US$100 and currencies weakening. He warned Brazil's gasoline could rise about 7% if a tax cut lapses, and estimated Bolivia's fuel support at 6.6% of GDP.
