# Fuel price rollbacks seen after Democratic sweep of US midterms

> Philippine gasoline, diesel and kerosene prices were expected to fall the following week, with projected reductions of 10.20, 3.50 and 3.60 pesos per litre, respectively. The drop in Singapore fuel benchmarks was linked to lower world-market prices and reduced fears of further escalation in the Iran conflict after the US midterm results.
