market outlook
International crude oil prices hit a new high for the year yesterday, and the geopolitical instability continued unabated. Ukraine attacked one of Russia's largest refineries this week. The United States 'API crude oil inventories fell by 2.286 million barrels in the week ending March 29. Mid-stream and downstream traders have basically finished stocking up on Qingming Festival and there is no obvious positive situation in the short term. On the whole, China's gasoline prices are expected to fluctuate steadily and within a narrow range in the short term.
