Monday, December 16, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices present their second combined variation for gasoline and diesel; this trend is the result of the increase in gasoline and distillate reserves. The IEA reported, in the last two weeks, an 8.79-million-barrel increase for gasoline. Likewise, the distillates from which diesel is derived reported a 7.18-million-barrel increase, generating a mixed fluctuation in the international prices of hydrocarbons.

Additionally, OPEC met last December 5 and 6 in Vienna, Austria, where they established an additional cut of 500,000 barrels to the 1.2 million that were in force since the beginning of 2019, thus reaching a total reduction of 1.7 million barrels per day and will be re-evaluated until March 2020. This generated that the prices in the international market presented mixed tendencies throughout the week following that meeting.
