Foreign media said that Netanyahu reassured the United States to agree to a ceasefire agreement, but pressured his men to negotiate tough, and international oil prices may have room to fall.。Crude oil closed down broadly overnight, with bearish guidance on the cost side, suppressing the mentality of downstream players entering the market. In the domestic gasoline market, demand performance continues to be weak and has not improved significantly. In addition, the summer holiday is coming to an end. There is a strong wait-and-see attitude in the middle and lower reaches, with refinery shipments performing generally and purchasing enthusiasm relatively weak.

Overall, it is expected that the domestic gasoline market will fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
