Fuel prices fluctuate in opposite directions starting from 3 PM today.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, global oil market dynamics during this pricing period have been influenced by key factors such as OPEC+’s announcement of increased oil production in November, albeit lower than expected; weakening global oil demand; and the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Ukraine intensifying attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. These factors have led to fluctuating global oil prices, with a predominant downward trend across various products.
The average global price of refined petroleum products between the pricing adjustments on October 9 and 16 was 76.2 USD per barrel for RON92 gasoline (up 0.1 USD/barrel) and 79.06 USD per barrel for RON95 gasoline (up 0.7 USD/barrel).
Global oil prices have hovered near five-month lows due to persistent U.S.-China trade tensions and concerns over increasing supply. The International Energy Agency has warned that the global oil market could face a surplus of up to 4 million barrels per day by 2026.
Additionally, new trade disputes between the U.S. and China, the world’s largest oil consumers, have disrupted global shipping routes and eroded market confidence.
