According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the average price of finished petroleum products in the world between the price adjustment period on October 3, 2024 and the adjustment period on October 10, 2024 is: 81.934 USD/barrel of RON92 gasoline used to blend E5RON92 gasoline (up 5.344 USD/barrel, equivalent to an increase of 6.98%); 88.272 USD/barrel of RON95 gasoline (up 6.462 USD/barrel, equivalent to an increase of 7.90%); 89.678 USD/barrel of kerosene (up 6.174 USD/barrel, equivalent to an increase of 7.39%); 89.974 USD/barrel of 0.05S diesel oil (up 6.156 USD/barrel, equivalent to an increase of 7.34%); 455,618 USD/ton of 180CST 3.5S fuel oil (up 22,594 USD/ton, equivalent to an increase of 5.22%).

On the world market at 6:00 a.m. on October 10, Brent oil price was at 77 USD/barrel, up 0.65 USD/barrel compared to yesterday. WTI oil price was listed at 76.18 USD/barrel, up 0.44 USD/barrel. Oil price increased due to the decrease in US petroleum inventories and the escalating political tension in the Middle East, which still caused concerns about supply disruptions.

Market concerns remain about the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran's oil infrastructure, even after oil prices fell more than 4% on October 8, due to the possibility of a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, Reuters reported.

An Israeli attack on Iran could push oil prices up by $5 a barrel, said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital in New York. Investors are also concerned that slowing growth in China will reduce fuel demand in the world's largest crude importer.
