The reduction in LPG cylinder prices comes on the back of the fall in global oil prices, against which domestic fuel prices are benchmarked, for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. The fall in oil prices can be attributed to rising crude inventories in the US and the increasing hopes of a ceasefire agreement in the Middle East.
