CPC Corp, Taiwan (CPC, 台灣中油) and Formosa Petrochemical Corp (台塑石化) yesterday announced that they would raise gasoline prices by NT$0.5 per liter and diesel prices by NT$0.6 per liter this week, the fifth consecutive week of increases.

CPC’s floating oil price formula showed that crude oil prices last week decreased 1.51 percent from a week earlier, global crude oil prices continued to stay above US$60 per barrel amid market sentiment that supply growth might not be met by recovering demand recovery.
