market outlook
The impact of geographical factors has weakened significantly this week, and the market has increased its attention to the demand side. International crude oil prices closed higher overnight, but the market buying and selling atmosphere remained weak, and the wait-and-see atmosphere still existed. Refinery shipments performed poorly. Rainy weather in many places affected shipments. In addition, the pressure on the main units increased at the end of the month. The middle and lower reaches were mainly in need of goods, so prices were reduced and delivered out of the warehouse. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
