market outlook
Israel has only taken limited military action against Iran. Neither side has any intention of further escalating the situation, and the geopolitical situation has gradually eased. International crude oil prices closed higher overnight, and market shipment performance was weak and there was a strong wait-and-see atmosphere in the middle and lower reaches. Near the end of the month, the pressure on the main units has increased, and the middle and lower reaches have mainly received goods just in need, so more prices have been reduced and delivered out of the warehouse. On the whole, China's gasoline market is expected to remain mainly stable and fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
