Fuel pump prices in Singapore have eased, with 95-octane petrol dropping to SG$3.42 per liter across all major operators, The Straits Times reported Tuesday, citing the Consumers Association of Singapore's Price Kaki tracking app.
The rate was reached after Esso matched the four-cent reductions introduced days earlier by Caltex, Shell, China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (SHA:600028, HKG:0386) or Sinopec, and SPC.
The price cuts follow a decline in global oil markets amid the US-Iran framework agreement, with the benchmark crude oil dropping to around $77 a barrel on Wednesday, according to Trading Economics.
