Gasoline market analysis:

The wholesale price of gasoline in China fluctuates slightly today. Among them, gasoline prices in North China increased by 50 yuan per ton, while those in East and Southwest China and Northeast China decreased by 30-100 yuan per ton. gasoline prices in South China, Central China, Northwest China and Northeast China remained relatively stable. The ex-factory prices of georefining are rising and falling, focusing on the reduction of gasoline prices in Shandong Province and Northwest China, with a range of 10-50 yuan per ton, while increases in North and Central China are concentrated in 20-50 yuan per ton. The price of gasoline in East China and Northeast China and the discarded gasoline price in Northwest China are temporary. At present, the turnover in China's gasoline market is moderate, and some traders are restocking at bargains at the weekend, but the support on the demand side is limited, coupled with the fact that the downward adjustment window is about to open, the enthusiasm of operators to enter the market is not high. The shipment of refinery noodles is general, the preferential room for transaction is still there, and the willingness to raise the price is mediocre. On the whole, the market wait-and-see mentality still exists, and the buying and selling atmosphere is weak.

Future forecast

From the perspective of international crude oil, the increase in US crude oil inventories last week, coupled with the unresolved issue of the US debt ceiling, market worries about economic recession, continuous decline in international crude oil prices, and negative guidance on international crude oil news. From the point of view of demand, the current weather and temperature is rising, the frequency of vehicle air conditioning is increased, there is no long holiday support, the private car travel radius is limited, and there are no obvious favorable factors on the demand side. On the supply side, imports make considerable profits, while some mainly operate imports in small quantities, while exports show upside-down profits. Under the dual influence, the supply of resources in China is relatively abundant. The price adjustment of refined oil products will be lowered tomorrow (24:00, May 16), and refineries will most likely follow the downward revision of their quotations. On the whole, it is expected that there is room for price reduction in China's gasoline market in the short term.
