Global oil markets are steady, with Brent at 85.14 USD per barrel and WTI at 87.28 USD per barrel. The 30 day readings show Brent at 73.52 and WTI at 70.19, indicating a firmer stance versus a month ago while the near term readings remain largely unchanged. This backdrop suggests limited pressure on international benchmarks that could influence domestic prices in the near term.
Domestic price data for six fuel products show clear regional differentials. Diesel oil 0.001S-V is listed at 25,420 VND per liter in Region 1 and 25,920 in Region 2; Diesel oil 0.05S-II at 23,320 vs 23,780; Gasoline E5 RON 92-II at 19,820 vs 20,210; Kerosene 2-K at 24,590 vs 25,080; Gasoline E10 RON 95-III at 20,550 vs 20,960; Gasoline E10 RON 95-V at 21,750 vs 22,180. All changes are shown as dash, indicating no update from the previous listing. In every case Region 2 prices are higher by roughly 400 to 500 VND per liter.
The pricing pattern implies regional supply costs or distribution dynamics contribute to a persistent premium in Region 2, even as the overall market remains stable in this update. Consumers across the country therefore face a similar but not identical price structure across fuel types, with no rapid changes reported today.
News highlights from the last 24 hours on 29 July 2026 point to mixed signals in the global and domestic oil narrative. Reports indicate world oil prices dipped by about 5 percent and that Brent and WTI are showing divergent moves, with markets watching for potential policy actions and currency effects. Analysts describe hourly volatility and debate whether upcoming policy cycles will push prices higher or lower, underscoring a cautious mood as traders await clearer directional cues.
