Global oil prices remained broadly steady with Brent at 102.58 USD per barrel and WTI at 90.44 USD per barrel. The data shows no change from the previous day for either benchmark, while seven day and thirty day comparisons reveal a wider range. Brent was 100.98 USD seven days ago and 106.39 USD thirty days ago. WTI was 88.91 USD seven days ago and 102.07 USD thirty days ago. The near term outlook appears muted, suggesting limited movement in refined product margins at the pump for now.
In the domestic market, two regions show consistent price differentials across all listed products. Region 1 prices are lower than Region 2 on every item. DO 0.001S-V is 32,090 in Region 1 and 32,730 in Region 2, a gap of 640. DO 0.05S-II is 30,490 vs 31,090 (gap 600). Gasoline E5 RON 92-II is 26,390 vs 26,910 (gap 520). Kerosene 2-K is 30,630 vs 31,240 (gap 610). Gasoline E10 RON 95-III is 27,080 vs 27,620 (gap 540). Gasoline E10 RON 95-V is 28,080 vs 28,640 (gap 560). The change column shows a dash for all items, indicating no change from the previous period.
These regional differentials suggest that logistics and regional pricing considerations influence pump costs, while the day to day snapshot remains stable. For consumers, the Region 2 premium ranges approximately from 520 to 640 VND per liter depending on the fuel grade, highlighting how location can impact outlay at the pump in the near term.
News coverage over the last 24 hours paints a mixed yet largely stable picture for fuel markets. International reporting places Brent around 102.58 USD per barrel in one update and notes a slide to about 105.03 USD per barrel in another, while WTI is cited near 90.44 USD per barrel. Domestic outlets continue to report stability in pump prices, with discussions of E5 gasoline rising by about 4,980 dong per liter since the start of September, signaling modest upward pressure for some grades. Taken together, the market tone remains cautious as global energy flows and domestic supply dynamics interact.
