market outlook
International crude oil closed down, U.S. commercial crude oil inventories continued to fall, and the impact of Ukraine drone attacks on Russian refineries continued. After eliminating warehouses, merchants in the middle and lower reaches purchase on demand, and the market has a strong wait-and-see atmosphere. On the whole, it is expected that China's gasoline and diesel prices will remain mainly stable in the short term, with some regions may fluctuate within a narrow range.
