Among them, gasoline prices in East China, South China, North China, Northwest China, and Southwest China have been lowered by 20-100 yuan/ton; local refinery ex-factory prices have been stable and weak., the increase in Northwest China, East China, and North China has been between 20-100 yuan/ton, while gasoline prices in other regions have been relatively stable. At present, transactions in China's gasoline market are light, and crude oil closed mixed overnight. Coupled with the continued weakness in demand, the market has no positive factors to stimulate, refinery shipments have performed poorly, and price reduction promotions have increased.

market outlook
The Iran-Israeli conflict has gradually returned to calm, but Israel's military operations in the Middle East have not stopped, and geopolitical instability still exists. International crude oil closing prices were mixed overnight, with limited market guidance. The middle and lower reaches of the market are finished, market demand is stable, coupled with the increased pressure on the main units in the middle and late months, and many prices are reduced and delivered out of the warehouse. However, the bottom support on the cost side still exists, and the news is good for guidance. At the same time, the main units are highly willing to bid, and the market has a strong wait-and-see atmosphere, or wait for opportunities to purchase. On the whole, China's gasoline market is expected to remain mainly stable in the short term and fluctuate within a narrow range.
