International oil prices continued to fall on Thursday, June 25, with both major benchmarks reaching their lowest levels since February 27. The decline comes amid improving supply prospects from the Middle East.

Brent crude futures for August delivery dropped by $1.22 to trade at $72.52 per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell by $1.02 to $69.32 per barrel. The price drop follows the resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after a preliminary agreement was reached to de-escalate regional conflict.

Advisor to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs, Rana Sanaullah, has stated that a team has been formed by the prime minister to review petroleum prices, with further reductions expected for consumers. He attributed previous price hikes to the Iran-Israel conflict, which necessitated purchasing oil at higher rates to maintain national stocks.

Mr. Sanaullah noted that with international oil prices now falling following a US-Iran agreement, the benefit should be passed on. He addressed the issue of oil marketing companies’ profits, suggesting that firms which profited from higher prices may now need to absorb some losses. He also warned that the government would deal strictly with any company found to be creating an artificial crisis over petroleum products.
