Gasoline prices in Vietnam surged to levels not seen since early July, casting a spotlight on the country’s evolving fuel market. As of Thursday afternoon, the price of the popular RON95 fuel increased by 1.06%, reaching VND20,090. Meanwhile, biofuel E5 RON92 also saw a rise of 0.57%, priced at VND19,460. In contrast, diesel experienced a slight decline, falling by 0.94% to VND17,900.
The recent fluctuation in global oil prices was driven by several factors, including a sharper-than-expected drop in U.S. crude oil inventories, coupled with discussions between U.S. President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding a potential roadmap to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These conversations come at a time when the oil market is grappling with tightening supply and geopolitical tensions.
In the global arena, RON95 saw a decrease of 1.2%, settling at $80.1 per barrel, while diesel recorded a drop of 1.3%, now priced at $83.6 per barrel. It seems fuel prices are keeping everyone on their toes, reminiscent of a careful tightrope act where a single misstep can send consumers and businesses alike into a tailspin.
