๐Ÿšจโ›ฝ GLOBAL OIL DROPSโ€ฆ BUT FUEL PRICES IN INDIA & KENYA STILL RISING ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Brent crude fell to $98.45 (-4.9%) while WTI dropped to $91.36 (-5.4%) after progress in U.S.-Iran talks reduced fears around the Strait of Hormuz. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ

But consumers in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India and ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช Kenya are seeing the opposite effect at the pump.

๐Ÿ“ Delhi petrol climbed to 102.12 INR/liter while diesel hit 95.20 INR after another round of hikes.

๐Ÿ“ Kenyaโ€™s diesel prices already touched a record 242.92 KES/liter, with analysts expecting more increases ahead.

The disconnect is being driven by:

โ€ข Weak local currencies ๐Ÿ’ฑ

โ€ข Heavy fuel taxes ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

โ€ข Import dependency ๐Ÿšข

โ€ข Delayed pricing systems โณ

People are now questioning why global oil prices can fall sharply while transportation and living costs continue rising locally. ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ธ

Markets move globally. Pain hits locally.
