At 5:30 PM on July 25, 2026, world gasoline and oil prices simultaneously fell sharply. Accordingly, WTI oil price was at 85.15 USD/barrel, down 1.86 USD/barrel, equivalent to a decrease of 2.14%.

World oil prices fell sharply after an increase of more than 25%, but geopolitical risks in the Middle East are still factors supporting the market. Previously, at the beginning of the trading session on July 24, Brent oil prices exceeded the 100 USD/barrel mark since May, after Houthi forces in Yemen announced an attack on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, raising serious concerns about supply disruptions.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the world gasoline and oil market in this operating period is affected by key factors such as: The re-emergence of attacks between the US and Iran; the US announces the re-imposement of blockades on Iran's coast, ports, and oil storage facilities; Iran announces the closure of the Strait of Hormuz; the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, Ukraine focuses on attacking Russian oil refineries; Russia bans diesel oil exports... The above factors mainly caused the world finished gasoline and oil prices to increase in recent days.
