Oil Industry Says Mixed Oil Price Adjustments Seen Next Week
FUEL PRICE UPDATE – An oil industry source has announced that there will be mixed adjustments in oil prices expected for the following week.
Gasoline stations advised the Filipino motorists to brace for another round of increase for gasoline and kerosene. This will mark the sixth straight week of gasoline price hike and seventh of kerosene prices. However, diesel may have no change or roll back slightly.
According to Rodela Romero, an official who works with oil industry information, these possible price changes are based on how the oil market has been acting from August 14 to 17, 2023.
Romero mentioned that gasoline might become around P0.90 to P1.20 more expensive per liter, while diesel might stay the same or become about P0.20 cheaper per liter. Kerosene prices could rise by around P0.40 to P0.70 per liter.
These adjustments in fuel prices are linked to many events occurring throughout the world. China’s economy has slowed slightly, affecting oil demand. In the United States, there is some inflation and it is related to the value of the dollar. Furthermore, the amount of oil stockpiled in the United States has dropped more than expected.
However, the projected fuel prices are still subject to change. Usually, oil companies make announcement about oil price adjustments every Monday and implement it on the following day.
