On average, global petroleum product prices continue to tumble due to the gloomy global economic outlook amidst the fears of interest rate hikes by various central banks. The consequences of the rising inflation in the US and EU have led to the US Federal Reserve and other central banks increasing interest rates to unprecedented levels to mitigate its adverse impact on the various economies.
