Global oil markets remain largely stable as Brent crude sits at 110.68 USD per barrel and WTI at 102.14 USD per barrel. The current levels match the previous day for both benchmarks, while 7 days ago Brent stood at 110.01 and WTI at 97.96 and 30 days ago Brent 98.58 and WTI 93.23. This pattern signals a steady tone rather than fresh directional moves, with markets attentive to geopolitical developments in the Middle East and evolving supply expectations.
Domestic fuel prices in Vietnam are shown in two regions and are denominated in dong per liter. Diesel oil 0.001S-V is 30,650 VND/L in Region 1 and 31,260 VND/L in Region 2; Diesel oil 0.05S-II is 29,250 VND/L in Region 1 and 29,830 VND/L in Region 2; Gasoline E5 RON 92-II is 26,390 VND/L in Region 1 and 26,910 VND/L in Region 2; Kerosene 2-K is 30,050 VND/L in Region 1 and 30,650 VND/L in Region 2; Gasoline E10 RON 95-III is 24,910 VND/L in Region 1 and 25,400 VND/L in Region 2; Gasoline E10 RON 95-V is 25,710 VND/L in Region 1 and 26,220 VND/L in Region 2. The Region 2 prices are consistently higher by about 490 to 610 dong per liter across products, reflecting regional pricing dispersion within the domestic market.
Reflecting regional differences, gasoline products trade in the mid twenty thousands dong per liter, with E5 RON 92-II roughly 26.4k to 26.9k VND/L and E10 RON 95 around 24.9k to 25.4k VND/L. Diesel products sit near 30k to 31k VND/L, while kerosene runs around 30k to 30.7k VND/L. The similar structure across Region 1 and Region 2 highlights a cohesive domestic pricing framework with modest regional premiums rather than sharp divergences.
News and market chatter over the past 24 hours reinforce a mixed price narrative. International coverage indicates Brent and WTI hold near current levels, with world oil prices edging lower on reports that Middle East negotiations were easing supply fears. Locally, headlines point to declines in E5 RON 92 and E10 RON 95 prices in some outlets and a retreat in diesel pricing, alongside occasional notes of upward pressure from fresh regional developments. The net effect is a stable to slightly softer domestic market with notable regional pricing gaps preserved by logistics and distribution dynamics.
