Petrol Pump Owners Announce Nationwide Strike Over Daily Pricing

The All Pakistan Petrol Pumps Owners Association (APPPOA) announced an indefinite nationwide strike from Wednesday midnight, with 15,000 pumps closing Thursday. Talks with the government failed over the daily fuel pricing mechanism, which owners call "unacceptable," demanding monthly pricing and increased commission. This strike could disrupt supply chains, potentially fueling inflation and putting pressure on the Pakistani Rupee, which might indirectly support local gold prices.
