If the world only has a few weeks of commercial oil reserves left, do you think gasoline prices in Vietnam could exceed 35,000 VND/liter?
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has just sent out a signal that has caught the attention of the entire global financial market. The world's commercial oil reserves are falling sharply while consumption demand continues to increase and geopolitical hotspots such as the Strait of Hormuz can cause supply disruptions at any time.
This means that the world has fewer "safety buffer zones" than ever before. With just one major military incident or natural disaster, Brent oil prices can completely explode to 120 to 150 USD/barrel.
Why IEA's Warning Is Particularly Dangerous
Commercial reserves are the amount of oil that countries and businesses are storing to cope with supply shocks.
When reserves decrease
* The market panics more easily
* Oil prices increased more strongly
* Inflation broke out faster
* Transportation and production costs skyrocketed
Impact Table When Oil Prices Increase
Brent Oil Price Scenario Expected RON95 gasoline price in Vietnam
Stable 70 USD/barrel 20,000 to 22,000 VND/liter
Stress 100 USD/barrel 25,000 to 28,000 VND/liter
Crisis 150 USD/barrel 32,000 to 35,000 VND/liter
⛽ Which Countries Are Vulnerable
Vietnam, Japan, South Korea and Singapore are economies that rely heavily on energy imports.
In it
* Vietnam depends on stupidityimported crude oil and petrochemical products
* Japan imports over 90 percent of its oil needs
* Korea has a very large energy consuming industrial system
How will Vietnam be affected?
When oil prices increased sharply
* Retail gasoline prices increased rapidly
* Escalating freight and logistics rates
* Electricity and fertilizer prices are under pressure
* CPI increases, reducing purchasing power
Businesses That Can Benefit
* PVN
* Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company
* Vietnam Gas Corporation
Vulnerable Industries
* Aviation
* Road transport
* Seafood
* Consumer production
️ OPEC And America Are Playing A Decisive Role
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries has the ability to increase production to cool the market, while the US can release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
However, if geopolitical conflicts persist, these measures will only be temporary.
Comparison with the 2022 Energy Crisis
Criteria Year 2022 Year 2026
Causes of the Russia - Ukraine Conflict Middle East risks and inventory decline
Oil price peaked at 139 USD/barrel. Could exceed 150 USD/barrel
Inflation pressure Very high Very high
Market psychology Panic Extremely sensitive
Conclusion
The IEA's warning is not simply a market bulletin. This is a signal that the global economy is operating with increasingly thin margins of safety.
If a supply shock occurs, oil prices, gasoline prices, the cost of living and inflation could increase sharply in just a few days.
For Vietnam, this is an urgent reminder to increase reservesenergy, diversifying import sources and accelerating the transition to LNG, gas power and renewable energy.
How high do you think gasoline prices in Vietnam could increase if major upheaval occurs in the Middle East? ⛽
