Price Tracker: Oil, fuel monitor for July 21-27, 2026

MANILA, Philippines — Hopes that pump prices would return to pre-conflict levels were dashed after the Department of Energy announced a major fuel price hike effective Tuesday, July 21, amid renewed tensions in West Asia.

The DOE announced the following price adjustments on Monday, July 20:

• Diesel: up by P10.68 per liter
• Kerosene: up by P11.77 per liter
• Gasoline: up by P3.65 per liter

The adjustments are effective from July 21 to 27.

Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said the increase was still driven by uncertainty from tensions involving Iran, Israel and the United States, which have continued to affect the global oil market.

"I know this is not the news anyone is hoping for, but we cannot change the direction of the global market," Garin said in a press briefing.

Here are the estimated new pump prices for July 21 to 27:
