Gasoline costs elevated sharply Thursday afternoon after inching down final week.
The favored gasoline RON95 rose 6.36% to VND21,060 (US$0.85) per liter.
Biofuel E5 RON92 elevated by 5.25% to VND19,840.
Regulators stated that costs within the final seven days rose as a hurricane made landfall within the U.S., leading to a spike in demand in that nation, and considerations over the navy battle within the Center East.
Within the final seven days, gasoline costs have elevated by 7-7.9% and oils have gained 5.2-7.4%. RON95 is now at $88.2 per barrel and diesel at $90.
