In the latest 24 hours, market news highlights a softening in global oil due to renewed expectations about the Hormuz Strait opening, with prices cooling and RON 95 variants hovering around the 20 000 VND per liter mark in the domestic market. This combination suggests a cautious outlook where global supply dynamics and domestic logistics continue to shape pump prices.
