According to a survey at 10:40 PM on February 5th, world oil prices fluctuated in opposite directions. WTI crude oil price decreased by 0.01 USD/barrel (down 0.02%), to 63.20 USD/barrel. Brent oil price increased by 0.30 USD/barrel (up 0.45%), to 67.63 USD/barrel.
In the price adjustment period last week, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said that the world gasoline and oil market in the operating period (from January 22nd, 2026 - January 28th, 2026) is affected by key factors such as: Tension between the United States and Iran; strong cold weather taking place in the United States; US oil inventories falling more sharply than forecast; the USD depreciating; prospects in negotiations to resolve military conflict between Russia and Ukraine; military conflict between Russia and Ukraine still continuing... The above factors have caused world gasoline and oil prices in recent days to fluctuate upwards and downwards depending on each item.
For the domestic market, VPI's Machine Learning application gasoline and oil price forecasting model shows that in the operating period on February 5, 2026, retail gasoline and oil prices may continue to increase by 1.4-4.9% compared to the previous operating period, if the Inter-Ministry of Finance - Industry and Trade does not make or use the gasoline and oil price stabilization fund.
