The petroleum market entered November 13th with a notable development as world crude oil prices recovered strongly after several sharp declines. In contrast to this trend, domestic gasoline prices were uniformly adjusted downwards from 3 PM on November 12th, bringing the price of E5 RON 92-II gasoline in Zone 1 down to 19,390 VND/liter. Consumers are currently benefiting from lower prices, while the market is beginning to monitor potential fluctuations in next week’s price adjustment.

World oil prices today, November 13, 2026: WTI and Brent both surge.

According to reference data from November 13th, WTI crude oil prices were recorded at $88.70 per barrel, an increase of $2.28 per barrel compared to $86.42 per barrel on November 12th. In percentage terms, this represents an increase of approximately 2.64%.

Thus, after a period of price decline, the global oil market has shown a significant recovery. This rebound indicates that oil prices remain sensitive to changes in supply, demand, and factors affecting international energy trading.

However, a single session’s increase is not enough to confirm that oil prices have entered a sustained upward trend. Subsequent trading sessions will be crucial in determining whether the market continues its recovery or returns to a correction phase.

For Vietnam, the recovery in crude oil prices is a factor to watch, but it does not mean that retail gasoline and diesel prices will immediately increase. Domestic fuel prices also depend on the fluctuations in international refined petroleum prices and other factors during the pricing period.

Domestic fuel prices today, November 13, 2026: Petrolimex simultaneously reduces prices.

Contrary to the upward trend of world crude oil prices, domestic gasoline and diesel prices on November 13th are being applied according to the downward adjustment that took effect from 3 PM on November 12th.

According to Petrolimex’s new price list, E5 RON 92-II gasoline in Zone 1 decreased by 1,500 VND/liter, from 20,890 VND/liter to 19,390 VND/liter.

E10 RON 95-III gasoline decreased by 1,310 VND/liter, to 19,840 VND/liter. Meanwhile, E10 RON 95-V gasoline decreased by 810 VND/liter, to 21,840 VND/liter.

Not only gasoline, but also diesel and kerosene products have decreased significantly. In particular, 2-K kerosene in Zone 1 decreased by as much as 2,200 VND/liter, from 28,600 VND/liter to 26,400 VND/liter.

Petrolimex fuel price list today, November 13, 2026:

DO 0.05S-II oil	26,820	27,350
2-K kerosene	26,400	26,920

Unit: VND/liter. Petrolimex prices are effective from 3 PM on November 12, 2026.

Compared to the price adjustment on November 5th, all items in the above price list have decreased. The decrease in Zone 1 ranges from 810 to 2,200 VND/liter.

Comparison table of Petrolimex prices in Zone 1 between the two adjustment periods:

Item	November 5th	November 12th	Change
E10 RON 95-V	22,650	21,840	-810
E10 RON 95-III	21,150	19,840	-1.310
E5 RON 92-II	20,890	19,390	-1,500
DO 0.001SV	30,090	28,620	-1,470
DO 0.05S-II	28,690	26,820	-1,870
2-K kerosene	28,600	26,400	-2,200

Unit: VND/liter.

With this adjustment, the price of E5 RON 92-II gasoline at Petrolimex Region 1 has fallen below 19,400 VND/liter, while E10 RON 95-III gasoline is lower than 20,000 VND/liter.

The recent price reduction contributes to lowering people’s travel costs, especially for gasoline-powered vehicles. With a single fillup of 40 liters of E5 RON 92-II gasoline, consumers in Zone 1 save approximately 60,000 VND compared to before the adjustment, if they purchased the same amount of fuel.

For transportation and production activities, the reduction in diesel prices from 1,470 to 1,870 VND/liter in Zone 1 also helps to reduce fuel costs to some extent.

Meanwhile, selling prices in Zone 2 are higher than in Zone 1 due to the regulations governing business locations. The actual price in each locality is determined by the enterprise but must not exceed the maximum price announced for Zone 2.

Fuel price forecast for November 19, 2026: Could prices rise again?

According to the regular price adjustment schedule every Thursday, the next fuel price adjustment is expected to take place at 3 PM on November 19, 2026.

Following the price drop on November 12th, the global market began to show signs of recovery. WTI and Brent oil prices both rose to their benchmark levels on November 13th, with Brent recording an increase of more than $3 per barrel.

This development could increase pressure on fuel prices in the next price adjustment period if world oil and refined petroleum product prices continue to rise.

However, it is still too early to confirm whether retail gasoline prices in Vietnam will increase in the adjustment scheduled for November 19th.

In reality, domestic price adjustments do not directly depend on the daily fluctuation of crude oil prices. The price of refined petroleum products on the international market during the pricing period, exchange rates, taxes, related costs, and the stabilization mechanism under new regulations are the factors that determine the adjustment level.

If international refined fuel prices continue to recover in the coming days, a retail price increase is possible. Conversely, if world prices cool down, domestic prices may remain stable or decrease further.

Notably, gasoline and diesel prices can fluctuate differently due to the supply and demand characteristics of each commodity. Therefore, there is not enough basis to provide specific increase or decrease figures for the next price adjustment period.

For the time being, consumers will continue to purchase gasoline and diesel fuel according to the new Petrolimex price list effective from November 12th. Developments in the international market next week will be a factor to monitor in assessing the potential for fluctuations in domestic fuel prices.
