market outlook
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that as of now, Russia's crude oil output has dropped to 195.7 million tons and will continue to cooperate with the OPEC+ production reduction agreement. There is still no substantive progress in the negotiations between Palestine and Israel, the instability of the situation still exists, and the demand prospects have not been significantly boosted or improved. Crude oil prices fell slightly overnight, which was good for the bearish game. However, the buying and selling atmosphere in the gasoline market is relatively mild. The middle and lower reaches of the industry are optimistic, their enthusiasm for purchasing is fair, and traders deposit into the market to replenish goods. Demand for gasoline in the Chinese market lacks holiday support, and demand performance is relatively weak. In addition, the pressure on refinery performance at the end of the month is increasing. On the whole, China's gasoline market is expected to remain stable in the short term.
