LOCAL oil companies rolled back pump prices on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

Kerosene had the biggest price cut at 90 centavos per liter.

The Department of Energy's Oil Industry Management Bureau said the reduction in prices was attributable to the easing Israel-Iran conflict, the delayed US Federal Reserve rate cut, and several global economic indicators like the shrinking of China's Consumer Price Index and the downtrend in US durable goods data.
