Global crude prices finished the session with a mixed tone. Brent crude trades around 104.23 USD per barrel, slightly below the previous close of 104.30; the 7 day high near 110.53 and the 30 day level around 100.21 highlight volatility in the week ahead. WTI crude hovered around 96.48 USD per barrel, up from the previous close of 96.32, with the 7 day range near 101.85 and the 30 day level near 89.25. In this environment, domestic pricing movements can be influenced by the global mix, even as local markets move on day to day supply shifts.
Domestic retail prices show a broad easing across all listed fuels. Region 2 prices remain consistently higher than Region 1 by roughly 0.46 to 0.58 thousand dong per liter, reflecting regional differences. Specifically: Diesel 0.001S-V is 30,270 in Region 1 and 30,870 in Region 2, down 1,370 from the prior level; Diesel 0.05S-II is 28,870 in Region 1 and 29,440 in Region 2, down 1,370; Gasoline E5 RON 92-II is 23,200 Region 1 and 23,660 Region 2, down 3,190; Kerosene 2-K is 29,010 Region 1 and 29,590 Region 2, down 580; Gasoline E10 RON 95-III is 23,230 Region 1 and 23,690 Region 2, down 920; Gasoline E10 RON 95-V is 24,230 Region 1 and 24,710 Region 2, down 720.
Overall, the price moves reflect a broad adjustment rather than isolated shocks to a single product. The pattern shows declines across all categories, with gasoline variants E5 and E10 recording the largest reductions. The persistent regional gap indicates ongoing geographic pricing dynamics within the domestic market.
Market news over the past 24 hours highlights continued downward pressure on domestic fuel costs, including gasoline slipping below 23 000 dong per liter for E5 and E10 in some reports. International headlines place Brent around 104.23 USD per barrel with a previous day reading of 104.3, and WTI around 96.48 USD per barrel with a previous day reading of 96.32; seven days ago Brent traded near 110.53 and WTI near 101.85. The data for 4 November 2026 shows domestic prices easing while global crude markets display a mixed trajectory.
