At the same time, the price of crude oil has again increased in the international market. According to market analysts, crude oil prices are seeing a rise in hopes of easing trade tensions between the US and China. On the other hand, prices have been supported in the US due to decreasing crude oil reserves. If this rise in the price of crude oil continues, the prices of petrol and diesel may increase even more in the coming days.
