The Czech crown strengthened against both the euro and the US dollar today, rising to 25.05 CZK/EUR and by 16 haléřs to 22.41 CZK/USD. The koruna’s gain was supported by a weakening US dollar and the prospect of lower interest rates in the US. Jerome Powell, the Chair of the US Federal Reserve, signaled at the Jackson Hole symposium that it might be time to reduce interest rates, citing decreased inflation risks and rising concerns over employment. This outlook contributed to the crown's strong performance, keeping it close to the 25 CZK/EUR mark.

The loan, pending government approval, would ensure no fuel shortages occur. Pavel Švagr, head of the State Material Reserves Administration, confirmed that the state's fuel reserves are sufficient to cover the gap, dismissing concerns about fuel shortages or price increases. Orlen Unipetrol is coordinating with state institutions and partners to maintain supply continuity.

State-owned company Čepro will finalize the integration of Robin Oil gas stations into its management by the end of August. So far, over two-thirds of the 75 stations have been transitioned. Once complete, all Robin Oil stations will supply the same fuel as EuroOil stations and offer electronic toll stickers. The process, which involves several hours of work per station, is being carried out primarily at night to minimize sales disruption. Čepro acquired Robin Oil earlier this year and now operates a total of 285 stations, making it the third-largest network in the Czech Republic after Polish owned Benzina - Orlen and Hungarian MOL.
