¿Por qué el precio de la gasolina bajaría desde febrero y qué haría que volviera a subir?

TL;DR

Gasoline prices will decrease by 300 pesos per liter starting February 1st.
The reduction is due to a more than 17% fall in the exchange rate (from 4,400 to 3,700 pesos per dollar).
International crude oil prices have also dropped by 23%, now around $62 per barrel.
The government claims this adjustment is possible due to progress in closing the deficit of the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (Fepc), avoiding increased public debt.
Experts indicate that the domestic gasoline price was previously exceeding the international parity.
The previous higher domestic price may have been counteracting the deficit generated by diesel, which had not increased in price.
The timing of the reduction, in an election year, suggests a potential political motivation, as it is likely to be a popular measure.
There is a call for more automated and less discretionary mechanisms for fuel price adjustments to avoid speculation.
A future devaluation of the currency or an increase in international prices could necessitate price hikes again if savings are not generated to cushion the impact.
