market outlook
In terms of international crude oil, Libya oil fields returned to normal production levels on Tuesday. Coupled with other short-and-good games, oil prices did not change the situation of repeated seesaw. EIA inventory data will soon be released or bring new guidance. There is insufficient support on the cost side and limited guidance. The market pays more attention to demand expectations during the Spring Festival. The quotations of main units remain at a relatively stable level and adjustments are limited. There is a lack of positive factors on the demand side. Under expectations of stocking before the Spring Festival, China's gasoline market is still expected to rise. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to be stable and volatile in the short term.
