Esso kicks off second day of petrol price adjustments

Petrol prices in Singapore rose for a second consecutive day on Wednesday (Sept 30), with Esso kicking off the latest round of price adjustments.

In a price board update posted at its stations on Wednesday afternoon, Chandra Asri-owned Esso announced a 5-cent increase across its petrol offerings while keeping its diesel price unchanged.

This mirrors the adjustments posted by Shell and Caltex on Tuesday .

Following the latest round of increments, the price of the more popular 95-octane petrol at the five major fuel companies now ranges from $3.48 at SPC, to $3.54 at Caltex, Esso and Shell.

Prices are correct as at 7.45pm on Sept 30. All prices are before discounts.

Meanwhile, Union Gas-owned Cnergy and Smart Group's Smart Energy priced their respective 95-octane at $2.64 and $2.62 respectively.

Oil prices rose on Wednesday as US-Iran talks aimed at ending the war stalled and tight fuel markets continued to underpin prices despite recovering Middle East crude supplies.

At 7.40pm, Brent futures November contract, which expires on Wednesday, was at US$103.27 (S$131.86) per barrel.

Brent is headed for a monthly gain of about 14 per cent, its biggest since July.

新加坡汽油价格周三（9月30日）连续第二天上涨，埃索率先开启了最新一轮的价格调整。

周三下午，钱德拉·阿斯里旗下的埃索石油公司在其加油站张贴的价格公告中宣布，汽油价格上涨 5 分，而柴油价格保持不变。

这与壳牌和加德士周二公布的调整相呼应。

经过最新一轮提价，目前五大燃油公司中更受欢迎的 95 号辛烷值汽油的价格从 SPC 的 3.48 美元到 Caltex、Esso 和 Shell 的 3.54 美元不等。

价格截至9月30日晚上7点45分有效。所有价格均为折扣前价格。

与此同时，联合天然气公司旗下的 Cnergy 和 Smart Group 旗下的 Smart Energy 分别将其 95 号辛烷值汽油定价为每加仑 2.64 美元和 2.62 美元。

周三，由于旨在结束战争的美伊谈判陷入僵局，尽管中东原油供应有所恢复，但紧张的燃料市场继续支撑油价，油价因此上涨。

晚上 7 点 40 分，将于周三到期的 11 月布伦特原油期货合约价格为每桶 103.27 美元（131.86 新元）。

布伦特原油月度涨幅有望达到约14%，创下7月以来最大单月涨幅。
