Oil product prices down
The drop linked to the international prices of petroleum products which on Friday closed down again (in particular on diesel). On Saturday – recalls Quotidiano Energia – there were new cuts by companies on recommended prices: Eni and Tamoil reduced the two fuels by 2 cents, Q8 by 3 cents, IP by 2 cents for petrol and diesel and 1.5 cents for LPG. As a result, the prices charged fell, also incorporating the substantial reductions decided by the operators last week. Oil also dropped in trading on Monday 8 August. The WTI falls by 0.7% to 88.36 dollars a barrel. Brent also declined and stood at 94.3 dollars (-0.6%). Weighting on the crude oil markets is data from China, which showed that imports increased in July at a slower-than-expected pace, confirming the trend of slowing demand in one of the largest oil importers in the world. To this are added the fears of investors for a risk of recession with the moves of central banks on the interest rate front, a situation that is causing other commodities to drop, after the increases in recent months.
