Among many key factors that impact LPG prices are international crude oil prices.
On Wednesday, Brent crude oil futures ticked higher to above $66 per barrel on Wednesday, following a two-day decline as traders weighed potential OPEC+ production increases against falling US crude inventories. API data showed that a 3.7 million-barrel drop last week helped offset some of the bearish pressure from supply talks, although both gasoline and distillate inventories increased, as per Trading Economics.
In a year, both crude oil and brent crude prices have declined by nearly 11% each. In the past one month, the prices have dropped between 4% to 5%.
