Brent crude was trading at $101.43 a barrel as of 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 6, according to Fortune, down $4.38 from the previous morning but about $35.50 higher than a year earlier.
The decline followed a higher reading on Oct. 5, when Fortune reported Brent at $105.81 a barrel as of 7 a.m. Eastern Time. That was $2.44 above the prior morning and roughly $40 higher than a year earlier.
In the Philippines, motorists faced mixed fuel-price changes on Oct. 6. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that gasoline and kerosene prices were set to rise, with increases ranging from 1.90 to 3.30 Philippine pesos per liter, while diesel prices were set to fall by 1.30 pesos per liter. The possible increases were linked to continued concern about supply disruptions stemming from conflict in the Middle East.
Crude prices are determined by global supply and demand and can shift quickly amid war, economic risks and disruptions. Changes in crude costs typically affect retail fuel prices, although refining, distribution, taxes and station markups also contribute to prices paid by consumers.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: One attribution should be adjusted to avoid crediting the Inquirer with an unsupported causal link. - "The newspaper linked the potential increases to continued concern about supply disruptions stemming from conflict in the Middle East.": The source says the possible price increases were linked to continuing concerns, not that the newspaper made this linkage.
