On the contrary, diesel prices may increase by VND374/liter (2%), kerosene by 1.1%, and fuel oil by 0.8%. The Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI) said that the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Trade will not draw from the price stabilization fund this period.

World oil prices continue to fall: Impact from trade tensions and geopolitical factors
On the world market, at 5:30 a.m. on July 24 (Vietnam time), Brent oil price was at 68.19 USD/barrel (down 0.42 USD) and WTI oil price was at 64.91 USD/barrel (down 0.41 USD). Both types of oil continued to decline after the European Union (EU) considered countermeasures against US tariffs.
US President Donald Trump also announced that the US and Japan have reached a trade deal, including a 15% tariff on imports from Japan. However, oil market analyst Vandana Hari of Vanda Insights said that while the decline may slow down, the news is unlikely to provide much of a boost as the obstacles in negotiations with the EU and China remain a psychological drag.
The European Commission is expected to propose that member states impose retaliatory tariffs on 93 billion euros ($109 billion) of US goods, although it still prefers a negotiated solution to avoid Washington's 30% tariff.
Investors are also awaiting U.S. crude oil inventory data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), due later Wednesday. One factor that could support oil prices is the U.S. considering imposing sanctions on Russian oil in an effort to end the conflict in Ukraine.
