According to the joint agency of the Ministry of Industry and Trade - Ministry of Finance, the world oil market during the period from January 2 to January 9 is affected by many factors with the main upward trend.

That is the strong US dollar, rising US oil inventories, China's economic stimulus plan, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine...

Therefore, the prices of petroleum products tend to increase by 2-3% for gasoline and about 3% for oil.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade said the time for petrol traders to adjust is 3:00 p.m. today, January 9.

The Ministry said that in order to adjust gasoline prices, it will coordinate with relevant agencies to inspect and supervise the implementation of the responsibility of ensuring gasoline supply for the market by gasoline traders and will strictly handle violations.

This is the second consecutive time that gasoline prices have increased since the beginning of this year.
