market outlook
International crude oil prices closed down. Currently, no radical conflict has broken out between Iran and Israel. The geopolitical tightening atmosphere has eased, and international oil prices are expected to have room to fall. The demand side lacked holiday support and its performance was relatively weak. On the supply side, there are no new refineries to be overhauled next week. A new round of retail price adjustments is approaching, and the increase is expected to be large. Some middle and lower reaches have already started May Day stocking in advance. On the whole, China's gasoline market is expected to remain mainly stable in the short term and increase in a narrow range.
