OUR EDUCATED GUESS

Our prediction: higher.

Our rough price guess: ≈ 1.87 €/l · 27 Oct 2026 (+4.00 c/l).

Educated guess, not a calibrated forecast. Policy changes, regional price differences and events already priced into markets can reverse this call.

Evidence support: limited · uncalibrated

Counter-signals present: newer supply reports and the market proxy disagree.

Price magnitude: typical past rises (10 comparable changes), not a priced-in news uplift.

What does it mean for your tank?

If our price guess happens: Effect of a change in the national cap. An individual station may charge less.

1.80 €

THE SIGNAL DESK

What the world is telling us.

Energy and shipping reports, not a poll of world opinion. Headlines are reports, not confirmed price effects.

Jev reviewed 6 headlines in 1 request · 1613 input tokens · estimated input cost $0.000068.

Jev labels how each headline reads as possible fuel-cost pressure. Its confidence and class probabilities are about the headline label, not the chance that pump prices will rise. Jev does not change the forecast above.

Source availability and model details

Judgment v2: newer corroborated supply reports → refined-product/FX trend → retail momentum → unchanged prior. No added cents per headline. Price magnitude uses a typical historical move, not a calibrated forecast. Jev is optional and shadow-only: its headline classes never affect that direction or price guess. X posts are currently unavailable.

03 / ACCOUNTABILITY

Forecasts, then results.

Every forecast is frozen before its outcome is announced.

The record starts here.

No completed, prospectively issued forecasts yet. Official announcements never count as successful predictions.

What was actually tested

Historical reconstruction uses copies of old releases retrieved today. It does not prove what this system knew then. Strict archived evaluation: 0 completed forecasts.

Judgment v2 is uncalibrated and has no demonstrated accuracy. US product proxies differ from Mediterranean quotations. News can tilt direction; no cents are added per headline. Policy changes and events already reflected in markets can reverse the call.

Data and methodology (JSON) ↗

04 / METHOD

Evidence comes first.

We always issue a directional call for the national cap: higher, unchanged or lower. We consider supply reports, refined-product proxies, FX and retail history. With no new evidence, our starting call is unchanged. A rough price uses the typical historical move in the chosen direction.

Judgment v2 is uncalibrated and has no demonstrated accuracy. US product proxies differ from Mediterranean quotations. News can tilt direction; no cents are added per headline. Policy changes and events already reflected in markets can reverse the call.

05 / SOURCES

Follow the source.

Official ministry announcements and calculation workbooks, with dates and provenance. Inconsistent prices and dates are quarantined for review.
