From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices are low for gasoline and diesel nationally, this responds to the latest weekly report of oil reserves provided by the IEA, which reported a 5.07-million-barrel increase, well above the forecast of experts who predicted a superficial growth of just 500 thousand barrels per week. This generates continuity of raw material for petroleum products, even though gasoline reserves decreased 3.04 million barrels and diesel 1.03 million barrels per week.

Together, the stability of the pact reached called "Phase 1" in the commercial conflict between the largest exporter of oil and its derivatives (United States) and the largest importer (China), did not generate the expectations of an increase in world demand as expected by investors and producers, despite the fact that the negotiations continue on a good course and the overproduction of the United States floods the world panorama with supply, thus generating a downward trend in international prices of hydrocarbons.
