Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>As US President Donald Trumps global tariffs continue to cause chaos in markets around the world, there has been some relief at the pumps for people in Africa.<\/b><\/p>\n

Fuel prices have been falling across the continent following a decline in global oil prices amid fears that the trade war would depress demand and lead to a global recession.<\/p>\n

Over the past week, countries including Ivory Coast, Mali, Morocco, and South Africa have all announced cuts in petrol and diesel prices.<\/p>\n

Nigeria was the exception, with prices rising on 2 April as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company adjusted prices upward amid the ongoing phase out of subsidies.<\/p>\n

The double shock of the US tariffs plus an unexpected expanded OPEC+ output drove oil prices to their lowest level in almost four years.<\/p>\n

But economists warn that market turbulence and the evolving impact of Trump\u2019s tariffs could result in fluctuations.<\/p>\n

They said oil markets are dealing with additional volatility as they assess the negative impact on global trade of the new US duties.<\/p>\n
