market outlook
The Palestinian-Israeli peace talks continue to be deadlocked, and the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon has resurfaced, and the geopolitical instability has once again increased。Crude oil closed up continuously overnight, providing support from the cost side, which alleviated market bearish sentiment to a certain extent. Although the wait-and-see mood in the middle and lower reaches of China's gasoline market has improved, the demand performance has continued to be sluggish and has not improved significantly. The new round of China's retail price limits have not yet been adjusted, and the market lacks a significant positive boost. Entering the second half of the month, the sales pressure of each main unit has gradually increased, and the confidence to support prices may be lacking. On the whole, China's gasoline market is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
