Global energy markets show mixed moves as crude benchmarks hover near recent levels. Brent crude sits at 93.56 USD per barrel, unchanged from the previous day; over the last 7 days it has risen from 88.69 to 93.56, and over the last 30 days from 85.14 to 93.56. WTI crude is 86.64 USD per barrel, also unchanged from the previous day; in the past week it climbed from 82.35 to 86.64, while 30 days ago it stood at 87.28, signaling a stronger near term direction but a softer longer horizon. Domestic fuel markets in the country mirror a cautious stance with regional price differentials rather than outright shifts in the price level.
Domestic price matrix by region shows price parity across two zones with no recorded changes for the reported period. Diesel 0.001S-V is 30,640 VND per liter in Region 1 and 31,250 VND per liter in Region 2. Diesel 0.05S-II is 28,540 VND per liter in Region 1 and 29,110 VND per liter in Region 2. Gasoline E5 RON 92-II is 21,830 VND per liter in Region 1 and 22,260 VND per liter in Region 2. Kerosene 2-K is 27,290 VND per liter in Region 1 and 27,830 VND per liter in Region 2. Gasoline E10 RON 95-III is 22,660 VND per liter in Region 1 and 23,110 VND per liter in Region 2. Gasoline E10 RON 95-V is 24,060 VND per liter in Region 1 and 24,540 VND per liter in Region 2. Unit is VND per liter.
Across the domestic spectrum the Region 2 values sit at a modest premium to Region 1 on all listed products, with the widest gap seen for diesel variants around 610 to 570 VND per liter. The pricing pattern suggests regional logistics or distribution costs contribute to slightly higher prices in Region 2 without triggering immediate market-wide shifts. Consumers may observe a relatively narrow spread between unleaded gasoline grades E5 and E10 as well as between diesel and kerosene within the same currency frame.
Market news over the past 24 hours highlight ongoing volatility in oil markets. Internationally, Brent and WTI are tracking around the current levels with reports of price gains in several sessions as markets digest statements from major policymakers. Domestic headlines note E10 and E5 gasoline easing from recent peaks while diesel remains pricier than E10 by about 6,000 VND per liter. The ongoing coverage from local outlets notes that broader oil sentiment has supported price stability in the near term, even as traders monitor headlines around energy policy and supply signals.
