Price cut 

The Centre on Tuesday hinted that petrol and diesel prices may see a reduction in the next quarter if the international situation remains stable.  

In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said 80-85 per cent of the crude oil used in the country is imported. "Our oil marketing companies have been good corporate citizens and have borne losses for a long time. Their situation is improving now," Puri said. 

Puri added: “If the international situation remains stable, then I agree with you. Then there is a possibility of reducing prices as we go along, in the next quarter.” 

Global fuel prices 

Oil prices weakened today and extended its fall to a third straight day as the dollar strengthened on a US housing market recovery. Brent futures fell 21 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $75.69 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 14 cents, or 0.2 per cent, at $71.06 at 0043 GMT.  

“Crude oil prices were highly volatile and plunged again on Tuesday, after a lower than expected interest rate cut by the Chinese Central Bank. Chinese demand concerns are also impacting global oil prices, while gains in the dollar index ahead of the Fed Chairman’s testimony before the U.S. congress also contributed to the fall of crude oil prices. Monetary tightening by global central banks are also restricting upward movement in crude oil. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at $70.40–69.70 and resistance at $71.95–72.60 in today’s session. In INR Crude oil has support at Rs 5,760-5,680, while resistance is at Rs 5,900–5,980,” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
