Oil price gets a breather:


Crude Oil prices got lucky last week , with both the WTI and Brent Crude prices closing higher than the previous week; closing at 76.56 USD/barrel and 79.47 USD/barrel respectively.The tensions in the middle east and stronger economic data from the US contribute to the recent rise in oil prices. 


Nigeria LPG depot prices move higher. 


LPG depot prices increased and sold for as high as 22 Million in Apapa, while in the South - South, prices were around 21.5 million. We expect prices to remain at current levels as international prices drop and the Naira/USD exchange remains unchanged.


LPG retail prices:

Retail prices still sell for between 1200 to 1300/ KG across Nigeria.
