Market Trends and Key Takeaways
PMS prices remained relatively stable, with slight reductions across most depots.
Diesel (AGO) saw the highest drop, especially at Dangote Refinery and major depots.
LPG prices dropped significantly, particularly at Navgas (-₦40) and NIPCO (-₦20), likely due to improved local production.
ATK prices remained unchanged, showing a stable demand-supply balance.
Fuel Prices Show Stability Amid Market Adjustments
The gradual reduction in fuel prices, particularly in diesel and LPG, signals improving refinery outputs and competitive pricing from depot operators. While PMS prices showed only minor adjustments, industry analysts predict that stable supply and increased refining activity could lead to further price drops in the coming weeks.
As Nigeria moves toward full refining independence, tracking depot prices will remain essential for market stakeholders. Will prices continue to decline, or will global crude market trends cause fluctuations? Stay tuned for the next Depot Prices Weekly Review to find out.
