So far, Philippine fuel prices have been heavily influenced by global conditions. International market experts cite fears of an economic recession as a reason for the downward trend in fuel prices, with many countries anticipating reduced demand.
A trend of rising COVID-19 cases in China also contributed to less demand for oil, as the country is currently under new lockdowns following reports of new coronavirus cases this month.
