This week is so different with its own uniqueness and just like other weeks, we are back with our weekly diesel price update.
Just like last week Monday, this week is beginning with no change in price from that of last Friday. Again, the week is off with no change in price but the impact of inflation is still obvious. The first business day is yet another Monday the 19th with an N295 price, as last week’s Friday 16th. Due to there is no change in diesel price going by speculations of the industry’s bookmakers, this week looks promising.
Ahead of the busy market, Monday is the first business day of the week and it runs through Friday. So far so good, the highest hike in the diesel price remains Monday’s own where we saw the week resuming at N295/litre. This occurrence is not always common, but this week has price dynamism in full. From the beginning of the week through Tuesday 20th when the price changed from N295 to N293 recording only a 0.67% drop. Not the usual but on the price of Tuesday remained unchanged until after the 3rd business day, Wednesday 21st.
The OPEC activities are playing key roles in all these coupled with US Dollar to Naira battle in the exchange rate market.
Diesel Price Update Table
As usual, the table below shows the breakdown of the market flow but for only this week’s price of diesel. Just as we pointed, the Diesel market started by maintaining the N295 price of last week’s Friday. No changes until Tuesday morning. The past few weeks have been exciting too but the consistency in diesel price movement, is far more noticeable. This seems to be the norm now.
On Monday 19th there is no change with what we happened on Friday but with Naira fluctuation continues before the business closes on Monday 19th, we observed a slight decrease on Tuesday from N295 to N293.
The price decrease crippled into Wednesday before witnessing a minute change on Thursday noon. The little N1 decrease continues to show a 0.34% decrease through the Thursday and Friday. Until business closing on Friday, the end-users continued to enjoy the daily offload of the N1/litre.
Fortunately, the market price for this week did close higher or with the same figure as it was when business resumed on Monday. But it was able to close lesser at N291/litres making showing more love and bestowing more hope to end-users. Hence we only witness the fall in price which was at +0.34% change as seen in the table.
It’s important to note that we will not relent in comparing the current weekly prices with its the immediate past change in diesel price for July week 2 – 2021.
We will continually update this every week whether there is or no change in the weekly price of diesel.
