market outlook
In terms of international crude oil, Goldman Sachs expects OPEC + to extend production reduction measures, the supply level is expected to tighten, and geopolitical uncertainty continues. Coupled with the improvement of Asian demand prospects, international oil prices are expected to have room to rise. Demand for gasoline in the Chinese market lacks holiday support, and demand performance is relatively weak. However, combined with increased cost-side support, the stimulus boosted the gasoline market. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
