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. In addition, we need to pay more attention to the development of the Red Sea event and the release of EIA data, which may bring new guidelines. 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. Approaching the Spring Festival, gasoline demand is expected to improve, coupled with the main unit price mentality is heavy, stable prices. Taken together, gasoline prices in China are expected to be strong in the short term, and there are still upward expectations.

VI. Operating rate

This week (20231229-20240104), the operating rate of main units was 75.94%, down 0.56%, while that of independent refineries was 64.88%, an increase of 0.89% .

 

Supply and demand & profit

Supply and demand: this week, China's oil product output is 3.194 million tons, China's main output is 2.2174 million tons, China's independent refineries output 976600 tons, China's independent refinery gasoline sales of 921600 tons, China's commercial inventory of 13.1107 million tons.

Profit: main comprehensive oil refining weekly production gross profit 508.8 yuan / ton, georefining comprehensive oil refining weekly production gross profit 503.23 yuan / ton, atmospheric and vacuum weekly production gross profit 324 yuan / ton, FCC weekly production gross profit-120yuan / ton, delayed coking weekly production gross profit 446.28 yuan / ton.
