market outlook
New news and demand prospects for OPEC+ production cuts, but recent Fed officials remain cautious about interest rate cuts and still lack guidance on important events. Crude oil prices rose overnight for two consecutive days, and the National Development and Reform Commission's current retail prices were lowered, which was good for the bearish game. The purchasing and selling atmosphere in the gasoline market is relatively mild, and the enthusiasm for purchasing in the middle and lower reaches is average. In addition, entering the latter part of the month, the business pressure of various sales units has increased, and they lack the confidence to support prices. Overall, China's gasoline market is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
