Diesel prices may increase, gasoline to roll back next week

Motorists can expect mixed oil price adjustments next week, with diesel prices projected to increase and gasoline prices to decrease.

Jetti Petroleum president Leo Bellas announced that diesel prices may rise by P0.40 to P0.60 per liter, while gasoline might see a rollback of P0.30 to P0.50 per liter.

The increase in diesel prices is attributed to persistent supply tightness in Asia, stemming from reduced exports by Northeast Asian refiners undergoing maintenance and unplanned shutdowns, as well as limited Chinese outflows and ongoing disruptions in Russian supply.

Gasoline prices are expected to soften due to slower regional demand and a significant buildup in US inventories.

Bellas also pointed out that new US sanctions on Russian oil giants Lukoil and Rosneft, and renewed US efforts to end the war in Ukraine, could influence future price movements.
