A surge in Covid-19 cases due to the new African Covid-19 variant has brougth the crude oil price to its lowest since April 2020.
This Friday, the price of Brent Crude fell by $ 10 per barrel, so it is expected that during the price review, oil companies will slash the price of LPG cylinders from December onwards.
