According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the world petroleum market last week (from August 21, 2025 to August 27, 2025) was affected by main factors such as: the US increasing taxes on imported goods from India; US crude oil reserves decreased more strongly than forecast; the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued, the two sides increased attacks on each other's energy base... The above factors have caused world petroleum prices in recent days to fluctuate up and down depending on each commodity.
