II. Summary of gasoline market
This week (20231229-20240104), the rise in wholesale gasoline prices in various regions of China slowed down, mostly concentrated in 30-150 yuan / ton; high-end prices fell significantly in some areas. The price of the factory as a whole rose, an increase of 50-200 yuan / ton. The main factors of the gasoline market: 1 the market is still worried about the fundamentals of the crude oil market, and the outlook for the global economy may be poor. Crude oil cost guidelines are limited. 2. The Chinese market is supported by New Year's Day's holiday this week. New Year's Day's stock hoarding was basically in place before the holiday last week. In addition to rigid demand procurement after the middle and lower reaches of the holiday this week, refinery production and sales data are good, and market trading is relatively active. At present, the pressure of refinery performance task is relatively small, and with the implementation of the retail price limit of refined oil, most refineries follow the upward adjustment. In addition, some of the main units have a good start after the festival, and there are preferential policies for the transaction. 3. The first batch of export quotas issued in 2024 totaled 19 million tons, up 58% from the previous month, boosting the gasoline market to a certain extent.
III. Gasoline price index
According to Tudor data, as of January 4, China's gasoline price index was 8814.25, up 16.02% from last week, or 0.18% higher than last week. The gasoline price index was 9120.09, up 5.41% from last week, or 0.06%. The 9-month and 9-month gasoline indices were both raised, and the price difference between the 9-month gasoline index and the 9-month gasoline index was 305.84.

V. Future forecast
From the perspective of international crude oil, OPEC+ once again expressed its determination to reduce production, adding that US commercial crude oil inventories began to decline, and crude oil supply expectations were tightened; however, demand-side performance was still relatively weak.

The new round of refined oil retail price limit is expected to be reduced, the news is a negative guide. However, traders may have the phenomenon of replenishing goods on bargains and start the pre-Spring Festival hoarding cycle ahead of time.

Taken together, gasoline prices in China are expected to be strong in the short term, and there are still upward expectations.
