Wong said, "Obviously, gas stations need to sell off the fuel that was taxed at a higher rate before you see the price reduction hit the pumps." The month-long Middle East conflict has disrupted global oil trade and led to soaring prices and shortages across Asia, one of the worlds most reliant regions on Persian Gulf oil supplies. In recent weeks, sporadic panic buying has occurred in Australia, particularly in rural areas, with some gas stations running out of fuel ahead of the long Easter weekend (traditional peak driving season). From Wednesday, Australia will reduce the tax on petrol and diesel by approximately 26 cents (US$0.18) per liter. According to the government, this should reduce the cost of filling a typical 65-liter (17-gallon) car by nearly AU$19.

Oracle Sales And Earnings Exceed Forecasts Amid Cloud Surge

Oracle Corp surpassed Wall Street projections for quarterly profit and sales on Monday, as demand for its cloud products surged in tandem with the industry-wide transition to cloud-based systems.


In extended trading, shares of the Austin, Texas-based corporation whose fourth-quarter sales increased by 5 percent soared by almost 12 percent.


Safra Catz, chief executive officer of Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), stated in a statement, "We think this revenue growth increase signals that our infrastructure business has entered a hyper-growth period."


Oracle, which projected a currency headwind of 5% in the fourth quarter, up from 2% to 3% in the third quarter, forecasts significant revenue growth in its cloud business despite growing inflation and a higher dollar.


Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in April and Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) Inc in May signaled a solid future for the cloud industry as corporations raise expenditure, but Microsoft reduced its fourth-quarter profit and sales prediction earlier this month owing to unfavorable currency exchange rates.


Oracle predicted a quarterly loss of $100 million in fiscal year 2023 due to the suspension of services in Russia.


However, the business anticipates first-quarter sales growth between 17 and 18 percent, thanks to its $28 billion purchase of healthcare IT provider Cerner Corp. (NASDAQ:CERN).


Oracle's prediction was released on a day when U.S. stock markets plummeted, with the S&P 500 confirming it was in a bear market, as investors feared that aggressive interest rate rises by the Federal Reserve may drive the country into recession.


The business anticipates adjusted first-quarter EPS between $1.04 and $1.08, compared to the average analyst expectation of $1.13.


According to IBES statistics from Refinitiv, revenue for the fourth quarter ended May 31 increased to $11.84 billion, above analysts' average forecast of $11.66 billion.


Excluding adjustments, the company's earnings per share were $1.54, above analysts' predictions of $1.37.
