Mexico’s Ministry of Finance has increased fiscal subsidies for Magna gasoline and diesel for the week of July 18 to 24, reversing the trend of cost-cutting measures implemented earlier in the month.
The adjustment also restores the stimulus for Premium gasoline, a move directly linked to the recent uptick in international crude oil prices.
This policy shift comes after the government had previously scaled back subsidies in response to a sharp decline in global oil benchmarks, which had fallen roughly 8% in the preceding week.

The reinstatement of support indicates that the Mexican government is closely tracking the volatility in energy markets and is prepared to adjust its fiscal stance to mitigate the impact of rising input costs on consumers.
The decision underscores the sensitivity of Mexico's fuel pricing mechanism to global crude trends, particularly as Brent and WTI prices have shown signs of stabilization and recovery.
For traders, this development highlights the potential for renewed demand support in the region, although the immediate impact on global supply dynamics remains limited.
