Gasoline and diesel prices declined in Vietnam Monday afternoon, following a similar trend globally.
The popular RON95 gasoline dropped 2.68% to VND21,420 ($0.91) per litter after staying unchanged in the last two revisions by authorities.
Biofuel E5 RON92 fell 1.91% to VND20,470 per liter.
Diesel, after rising two times in a row, was 0.06% lower at VND18,160 per liter.
Global fuel prices since June 21 have been falling due to a plunge in U.S. fuel reserves and concerns about central banks’ rate hikes, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Ministry of Finance.
RON92 fell nearly 1.5% to $86.78 per barrel while RON95 dropped 1.8% to $91.59. Diesel declined by 0.5% to $92.16.
