V. Future forecast
From the perspective of international crude oil, with the weakening of geo-events in the Red Sea, traders are looking back to the fundamentals of supply and demand; US crude oil inventories continue to accumulate, the supply level is loose, and fundamentals remain weak, and international oil prices are expected to fall next week. The retail price limit of refined oil products is expected to be raised next week, and the news is positive. But next week, the main unit in early 2024 may usher in a "good start" price reduction promotional incentives may be increased to curb gasoline prices. On the whole, it is expected that the upward resistance of China's gasoline market will increase in the short term, and there will be room for downward adjustment.
