According to a survey at 15:32 on July 19 (Vietnam time), WTI oil prices decreased by 0.20 USD/barrel (down 0.30%) to 67.34 USD/barrel. Brent oil price decreased by 0.24 USD/barrel (down 0.35%), down to 69.28 USD/barrel.
Analysts said that crude oil prices decreased slightly due to supply concerns after the European Union (EU) announced a new package of sanctions against Russia related to the conflict in Ukraine. The measure could disrupt oil exports from Russia - one of the major suppliers in the global market.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the world petroleum market this time (from July 10, 2025 to July 16, 2025) is affected by main factors such as: US crude oil inventories decreased, while distillate inventories increased; OPEC+ forecasts oil demand to continue to increase in the third quarter; information on the new US import tax policy on goods of trading partners; military conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues...
The above factors have caused world oil prices in recent days to fluctuate up and down depending on each commodity.
