From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador statement:

The current reference prices are affected by the continuous decrease suffered in the inventories of gasoline and distillates such as diesel. According to the latest reports provided by the IEA, in April the reduction of gasoline registered an accumulated of 11.9 million barrels and distillates, from which diesel is extracted, registered 4.4 million barrels. This continuity directly affects the prices of oil derivatives, as it generates uncertainty in the markets and investors by observing abrupt drops in reserves and maintaining upward trends in prices.

Similarly, the United States ended the exemptions given to Iran in November 2018, where the U.S. allowed 8 countries (India, Italy, Greece, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, China and Taiwan) to import oil from the country of the Middle East, which was the third largest producer before the sanctions imposed. This brings uncertainty to the world scene, as it would be a drop of approximately 1.4 million barrels per day that would no longer be supplying the existing demand.
