Brent crude oil prices rose on China's economic stimulus and tensions in the Middle East. China's central bank has launched a massive stimulus package to boost growth and cut interest rates, countering the risk of a prolonged recession.

Tensions in the Middle East are high after Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon caused many casualties and could lead to wider conflict.

Concerned about oil supplies, US oil producers in the Gulf of Mexico evacuated rigs and halted production due to the storm, and Shell closed some facilities as a precaution.

Domestic gasoline prices today

On September 19, gasoline prices were adjusted to reflect changes in the international market. In this adjustment, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Trade decided not to contribute to the Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund.

E5RON92 gasoline price increased by 51 VND/liter, at a level not higher than 18,941 VND/liter, 821 VND/liter lower than RON95-III gasoline;

RON95-III gasoline price increased by 127 VND/liter, at a level not higher than 19,762 VND/liter;

Based on current market conditions, gasoline prices are expected to increase in the next price adjustment period on Thursday, September 26, 2024.

Specifically, the price of RON 95 gasoline may increase by about VND820 per liter. E5 RON 92 gasoline is expected to increase by VND740 per liter. Diesel oil (DO) may increase by VND380 per liter.
