Gasoline prices down slightly
The Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Finance said that the world oil market this time (February 15 - February 21) is affected by factors such as: The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that oil demand this year will decrease compared to forecasts, and the US Federal Reserve (Fed) is slow to cut interest rates, affecting the outlook for oil demand.
In addition, the US raising the value of the USD has negatively impacted world oil prices, tensions in the Middle East have shown no signs of cooling down, conflicts in the Red Sea continue to affect transportation activities... The above factors have caused world oil prices to fluctuate between increases and decreases in recent days, but the general trend is downward.
The gasoline price management plan continues to maintain the price difference between E5RON 92 biofuel and RON 95 mineral gasoline at a reasonable level to encourage the use of biofuels according to the Government's policy; ensure the harmony of interests among market participants, and support gasoline businesses to maintain and supply the domestic market.
