In turn, in recent weeks the international prices of petroleum products recorded the following variations: + 18.49% in special gasoline, + 24.54% on regular gasoline and + 13.43% in diesel.

Variations in international prices have been influenced by increased demand for crude oil and its derivatives, generated by positive economic expectations in the economy of China, which is the second largest consumer after the United States, as well as by strikes in some of the US refineries.

The current reference prices present combined variation for gasoline and diesel; this trend responds to the economic conflict between the largest producer of oil and derivatives (United States) and the largest consumer of the same (China) that has extended for 16 months. The United States has scheduled for next December 15, a 15% increase in tariffs on Chinese products for a value of US$160 billion dollars, generating uncertainty in the international hydrocarbons market.
