Marcada baja en los precios del combustible prevista para el martes en Filipinas

Los precios del combustible en Filipinas experimentarán una nueva ronda de rebajas este martes 21 de abril, encabezada por Shell Pilipinas con recortes más profundos de lo estimado inicialmente. Los cambios entrarán en vigor a las 6 a.m. a medida que disminuyen las tensiones por el conflicto en Oriente Medio.

Shell Pilipinas anunció recortes de P24.94 por litro para el diésel, P3.41 por litro para la gasolina y P2 por litro para el queroseno, efectivos a partir de las 6 a.m. del martes. Estas reducciones superan las proyecciones iniciales de la industria que situaban el descenso entre P17 y P19 para el diésel y entre P2 y P3 para la gasolina. La medida prolonga el alivio en los precios de la semana pasada, impulsado por la disminución de las tensiones derivadas del conflicto en Oriente Medio. Las estimaciones se basan en los puntos de referencia del Departamento de Energía para la Región de la Capital Nacional del 14 al 20 de abril y el anuncio de Shell. Los precios minoristas reales pueden variar según la marca, la estación y la ubicación, de acuerdo con los precios proyectados en los surtidores de la RCN tras la rebaja.
