market outlook
Fed officials hinted that interest rates will not come in the short term and that high interest rates will remain for some time. In an interview, U.S. President Biden issued the most severe warning yet against Israel's all-out ground offensive in the Rafah region. Data from the U.S. Energy Agency shows that the latest phase of gasoline demand is the weakest since 2020. Crude oil closed down overnight, and the news was negative. The buying and selling atmosphere in the gasoline market is relatively light, with a strong wait-and-see atmosphere in the middle and lower reaches, a mentality of consuming more warehouses, and a small amount of replenishment just needs to be replenished. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
