Looking at international oil price trends, we can also predict domestic oil prices.
International oil prices fell this week as concerns about an escalating war in the Middle East eased and expectations were raised that the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut would be delayed.
Dubai Oil, the benchmark for the price of imported crude oil, was $88.1 a barrel, down $0.9 from the previous week.
The international gasoline price fell $2.1 to $100.6, and the international auto diesel price fell $2.3 to $101.9.
These changes in international oil prices are usually reflected in domestic gas station prices after about two weeks.
The Korea Petroleum Association predicted that domestic price increases will remain weak until next week as international gasoline and diesel prices fell this week along with the exchange rate.
It is expected that it will turn to a downward trend in the second week of next month.
The Ministry of Economy has provided this information so far.
