market outlook
Crude oil closed up continuously. Ukraine drones continued to attack Russian refineries. Crude oil exports from Iraq and Saudi Arabia decreased. Market concerns about supply shortages continued, and European and American crude oil futures rose to new highs. Supported by positive international crude oil, the market situation in China's gasoline market has improved, and gasoline needs obvious support. On the whole, China's gasoline market prices are expected to rise steadily in the short term.
