Meanwhile, the global Brent benchmark went up past US$110 at the time of this article's publication as Iran rejected a ceasefire plan put together by Pakistan.
This comes amid threats by US President Donald Trump that Iran could be "taken out" if it did not meet his Tuesday night (8am Wednesday, Singapore time) deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz.
Following the latest round of price movements, the cost of diesel now ranges from $4.42 at SPC to $4.68 at Caltex, Esso and Shell.

Three ministers — Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, Coordinating Minister for National Security K Shanmugam, and Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow — are scheduled to deliver separate statements on the impact of the Middle East situation on Singapore when Parliament sits at 12pm on Tuesday.
Some 32 MPs have also filed 62 questions on the war's impact on businesses, consumers and households, including how the Government intends to secure the country's food and energy security.
On April 2, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced that the Government has convened the Homefront Crisis Ministerial Committee (HCMC), led by Coordinating Minister for National Security K Shanmugam.
Acknowledging the impact on households and businesses amid rising energy costs and uncertainties, PM Wong said the Government will "cushion the immediate impact" by enhancing existing measures, bringing some of them forward to provide earlier relief.
He added that the Government will also provide targeted support for sectors that are more severely affected.
