market outlook
Hamas questioned the ceasefire plan proposed by Israel and Egypt, saying there were "no major issues." Hamas officials said the atmosphere would be positive unless Israel erected new obstacles. The geopolitical situation shows signs of further easing, and international crude oil prices may have room for correction in the short term. 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 a demand for stocking up 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.
