market outlook
The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution on Palestine's accession to the United Nations, but the United States and Israel voted against it, and the instability of the Palestinian-Israeli situation still exists. There were no international crude oil quotes over the weekend, and there was limited news guidance. The buying and selling atmosphere in the gasoline market is relatively light, and middle and lower reaches are cautious when entering the market. They mainly consume more warehouses and just need to replenish a small amount. The current round of retail price reductions for refined oil products is expected to be approaching and lacks good support. The middle and lower reaches tend to wait and see before price adjustment. In addition, as this week enters mid-to-late, sales pressure on various units has increased, and there is no confidence in supporting prices. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to decline within a narrow range in the short term.
