In response to the global dip in oil prices, Vietnam has reported a decrease in its gasoline prices this past Thursday. This price decrease is largely due to a decrease in demand.
The widely-used fuel, RON95, saw a reduction by 0.90%, bringing the price down to VND19,720 (US$0.75) per liter. Simultaneously, the price of the Biofuel E5 RON92 also experienced a decrease, falling by 0.88% to VND19,050.
Numerous factors over the past week have impacted the global oil market. Among these factors was an announcement by OPEC+ of a lower-than-projected increase in oil production for the month of November. Further, a weakened global oil demand and persistent attacks on Russia’s energy facilities by Ukraine also played a significant role in shaping the market.
As a result of these influences, the price of RON95 on the global market decreased by 1.1% to $78.2 per barrel, while diesel prices decreased by 3.5% to $83.4 per barrel.
