Industry sources earlier said the increases could be blamed on persistent tensions involving major economies.
“Crude oil and refined fuel prices have rebounded this week, driven by concerns of supply disruptions after Russia and Ukraine intensified their attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure, and worries that new US sanctions on Russia and buyers of Russian crude oil will restrict global supply flows,” Jetti president Leo Bellas said.
Last week, oil companies imposed price increases ranging from 30 centavos to 70 centavos per liter on gasoline, diesel and kerosene. —LISBET K. ESMAEL
