Global oil markets remained largely steady as major benchmarks hover near key levels. Brent crude trades at 111.57 USD per barrel and WTI around 100.97 USD per barrel, according to the latest international price feed. The data also notes the previous day price at 111.57 for Brent, with 7 day and 30 day readings of 105.74 and 98.51, illustrating a current backdrop of firming crude within a broader range.
In the domestic market for fuel, the official prices per liter are quoted in Vietnamese dong across two regions, with all listed products showing no change from the previous period. Region 1 prices are: DO 0.001S-V 30,200; DO 0.05S-II 28,800; Gasoline E5 RON 92-II 26,390; Diesel 2-K 30,410; Gasoline E10 RON 95-III 26,720; Gasoline E10 RON 95-V 27,520. Region 2 prices are: DO 0.001S-V 30,800; DO 0.05S-II 29,370; Gasoline E5 RON 92-II 26,910; Diesel 2-K 31,010; Gasoline E10 RON 95-III 27,250; Gasoline E10 RON 95-V 28,070. Unit is VND per liter. The regional spread ranges roughly from 520 to 600 VND per liter, with Region 2 consistently higher across all products.
The domestic market remains relatively stable even as international crude holds firm. The lack of price changes in the domestic list suggests a measured approach to any adjustment, though traders are watching the global backdrop for potential policy actions. With Brent hovering around 111 USD and WTI near 101 USD, domestic pricing could tilt if the afternoon session signals changes in supply expectations or currency movements.
News highlights in the last 24 hours indicate expectations of a near-term adjustment, including forecasts that E10 could fall by more than 1,000 dong per liter and anticipation of a 3 PM adjustment window. Reports noting Brent above 108 USD per barrel and sustained strength in crude emphasize continued import costs for the local market. Overall, the data depict a two-track picture: stable domestic prices today, but a global price environment that remains supportive of potential moves in the near term.
