Philippine oil firms flag P1.20-per-liter diesel hike and P1.50-per-liter gasoline increase next week
Refined fuel prices in the Philippines are expected to rise next week, reflecting a tighter short-term balance in Asian product markets. Middle East uncertainty (Hormuz shipping risk and doubts over the US"Iran interim accord) is keeping risk premia elevated, while seasonal gasoline demand and slow diesel supply normalization support cracks. Sanctions-waiver related Iranian flows add supply uncertainty, sustaining near-term volatility in regional refined products and linked crude benchmarks.

The projected adjustments are based on four days of trading in the Mean of Platts Singapore benchmark for refined products in Southeast Asia. Firms cited Middle East-related uncertainty, including questions over the durability of the US-Iran interim peace deal and reports of a suspected cargo-vessel attack in the Strait of Hormuz.
