market outlook
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues, Ukraine drones continue to attack Russian refineries, and instability in the Middle East and Russia and Ukraine continues. International crude oil prices closed higher, with good news guiding them. At the same time, today is the first day of the National Development and Reform Commission's approval of the zero-price increase. Most of the middle and lower reaches are actively stocking up before the holiday. Overall, China's gasoline prices are expected to rise steadily in the short term.
