market outlook
Israel's prime minister has approved plans for a ground military operation in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah. Iraq officials said that regardless of OPEC+'s decision at the June meeting, it will limit crude oil exports to 3.3 million barrels per day. Traders weigh the factors of good market positions. 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, coupled with the increased pressure on the main units at the end of the month, the middle and lower reaches of the country were mainly in need of goods, and many prices were reduced to deliver goods out of the warehouse. There is still demand for stocking up next week before May Day, and gasoline prices still have support. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
