According to a survey at 5:00 a.m. on November 17, world oil prices increased simultaneously. WTI crude oil prices increased by 1.40 USD/barrel (up 2.39%), to 59.95 USD/barrel. Brent oil price increased by 1.38 USD/barrel (up 2.19%), to 64.39 USD/barrel.
Over the weekend, oil prices increased by more than 2% as Russia's Novorossiisk port stopped exporting oil after a Ukrainian drone attack on an oil depot in Russia's energy center, raising concerns about supply.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the world petroleum market this time (from November 6, 2025 to November 12, 2025) is affected by main factors such as: OPEC+ agreed to slightly increase oil exploitation output in December 2025 and temporarily suspend the increase in oil exploitation output in the first quarter of 2026; US sanctions on Russian petroleum; military conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues... The above factors have caused world petroleum prices in recent days to increase and decrease depending on each commodity.
