market outlook
Iran's military action against Israel last Sunday triggered geopolitical concerns and continued to strengthen the bottom support for oil prices. It is expected that international oil prices may have room to rise. International crude oil closed higher overnight, boosting market mentality. In addition, the NDRC's price limit is about to be raised. There is a lack of holiday support in terms of demand, and some middle and lower reaches have already started stocking up on May Day in advance. On the supply side, refineries are more willing to support prices in the middle of the month, and merchants in the middle and lower reaches will replenish the goods appropriately. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to increase within a narrow range in the short term.
