It's all linked to the artificially low oil price which has been manipulated by the US for political reasons. Low oil price = low fuel price = lower price for transport of goods = cheaper goods.

Don't get used to it. The price per barrel for oil will rebound dramatically (as I said, it's been pushed low by US shale oil mostly for political reasons) and then it'll be price-hikes all around.

Artificially manipulated? Americas oil production has risen 4000% due to fracking.

Yes, but they have deliberately flooded the market with fracked oil to drop global prices. In my (and many other people's) opinion, anyway.
