Unit: VND per liter
The price gap between Region 2 and Region 1 ranges roughly from 390 to 460 VND per liter across the listed products, indicating a consistent regional premium in Region 2. The absence of change figures suggests prices held steady versus the prior period, reinforcing a relatively stable domestic valve for refuel costs in the near term.
News over the past 24 hours highlights a marginal softening in both domestic and global fuel markets. Domestic reports on 6 July describe a gentle price retreat while international benchmarks also ease, with Brent hovering near 72 USD per barrel and WTI near 68 USD per barrel. Several outlets note a potential move lower for E10 in the domestic market, with one report pointing to a sizable local drop of about 11,000 VND per liter for E10, and RON 92 prices reported around 19,000 VND per liter in some listings. The combined effect is a cautiously soft tone in the opening of the week, with regional price gaps persisting alongside global price adjustments.
