As in previous months, the correction is lower than what was indicated by the rule based on the evolution of international prices.

The Import Parity Price (PPI) report that corresponds to the last moving month between February 26 and March 25 showed that the price of gasoline should have had a variation of $7.54 per liter (+10.1 %), and diesel of $15.22 per liter (+28.2%).
During February, the average price of Brent oil had been US$95.5 per barrel and in March it stood at US$117.5, with an upward variation of 23%. The volatility already characteristic of this commodity gained strength since the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
