국제 유가 기준물인 브렌트유는 거래 중 배럴당 100달러 아래로 잠시 떨어졌다가 7.8% 하락한 101.27달러에 마감했다.
이번 급락세는 이란과의 합의 가능성이 매우 높다는 트럼프 대통령의 발언 이후 중동 지역의 분쟁 우려가 완화되면서 나타났다.
마닐라에서는 이러한 추세가 며칠간 지속될 경우 필리핀 운전자들의 연료비 부담이 다시 줄어들 것이라는 기대가 높아졌다.
다음 주 연료 가격은 혼조세를 보일 것으로 예상되는데, 경유는 인하 가능성이 있는 반면 휘발유는 다시 오를 수 있다. 4월 물가상승률은 21.4% 급등한 교통비의 영향 등으로 2023년 3월 이후 최고치인 7.2%를 기록했다.
