Fuel price today 20/7/2026: Domestic fuel prices hold steady as international crude trades around mid-70s

Global oil markets sit in a cautious stance as Brent crude trades at 76.23 USD per barrel and WTI at 72.00 USD per barrel. Brent rose from 76.08 USD on the previous day, while WTI traded around 71.81 USD yesterday, indicating modest moves as traders weigh Middle East tensions and supply signals. The 30 day reference for Brent is 80.59 USD, underscoring recent softness in near term levels despite todays uptick.

In the domestic market, prices for all listed fuels in Region 1 and Region 2 are unchanged in the latest update. Diesel Oil 0.001S-V is 23,840 VND per liter in Region 1 and 24,310 in Region 2; Diesel Oil 0.05S-II is 21,740 in Region 1 and 22,170 in Region 2; Gasoline E5 RON 92-II is 19,190 in Region 1 and 19,570 in Region 2; Kerosene 2-K is 21,610 in Region 1 and 22,040 in Region 2; Gasoline E10 RON 95-III is 20,000 in Region 1 and 20,400 in Region 2; Gasoline E10 RON 95-V is 21,200 in Region 1 and 21,620 in Region 2. The unit is VND per liter and no changes are recorded in this update.

Price dispersion between regions remains evident with Region 2 pricing higher than Region 1 by about 380 to 470 VND per liter across products, reflecting distribution and supply dynamics. The absence of a change indicator for all items suggests the latest update shows a stable domestic price path, even as consumers monitor regional differentials amid the wider price cycle influenced by international crude.

Key news in the last 24 hours show world oil prices moving higher with reports that Brent is approaching the 90 per barrel mark, while domestic fuel prices appear steady in this update. Additional headlines indicate ongoing market sensitivity to Middle East tensions, broader volatility in equities such as the VN index, and commentary on tech product pricing alongside fuel market dynamics. Investors remain focused on risk management and the potential for regional supply disruptions to influence future price action.
