Gasoline prices dropped slightly while diesel inched up Thursday afternoon.

Biofuel E5 RON92 dropped by 1.47% to VND19,400.
Diesel gained 0.50% to VND18,140.
Regulators said that fuel prices in the past seven days were affected by increasing conflict in the Middle East, declining crude oil production in the U.S., and the possibility of OPEC+ delaying its plan to up oil production.
Gasolines fell by 2.3-2.7% in the period while oils went up 0.4-1.6%. RON92 is now at $83.6 per barrel and diesel $86.2.
