Motorists may get a slight reprieve at the pumps

- By GABRIELL CHRISTEL GALANG

Motorists may get a slight reprieve at the pumps next week as fuel prices show signs of easing from their recent price spikes.

Based on four-day trading average at Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS), diesel could go down somewhere between P0.10 and P0.30 per liter, while kerosene is also seen to decline by more or less 0.65 per liter.

Gasoline may either see a price drop or an increase of P0.10 per liter

These potential price reliefs are likely due to easing geopolitical tensions as well as slight increase in global oil supply, according to the Department of Energy’s Oil Industry Management Bureau (DOE-OIMB).
