Operators expect wholesale prices to fall, though the retail effect depends on last-mile competition that does not yet exist everywhere — that, at least, is where the story stood when this page was filed, according to the people closest to it.

Reporters on the ground filed contemporaneous notes, which were reviewed by a second editor before publication. Where figures could not be independently verified, SomTiger has said so in the text rather than attributing them to an unnamed source.

Analysts consulted for this piece disagreed on the likely trajectory over the coming months. That disagreement is reflected here deliberately: our standard is to show the range of informed views rather than to compress them into a single forecast.

SomTiger International will update this page as the situation develops. Substantive changes are logged in the updates area at the foot of the article.

This is demonstration copy published to illustrate SomTiger International's article template. It does not describe a real event, and no quotation, figure or attribution in it should be treated as reporting.
