In this round of pricing cycle, as the epidemic spread and some countries restarted the anti-epidemic blockade, investors were worried about the prospects of crude oil demand; the latest monthly oil market report of the International Energy Agency (IEA) lowered the oil demand in 2021 and 2022 by about 100,000 barrels. The market has raised concerns about oversupply.
Longzhong Information analyst Xu Wenwen said that based on an ordinary private car with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, after the price adjustment, car owners will spend about 5 yuan less to fill a tank of fuel.
After this round of price adjustments, the price of car diesel in most areas of the country is between 6.7 yuan and 6.9 yuan per liter, and the retail price of 92# gasoline is limited between 6.8 yuan and 7.0 yuan.
This price adjustment will reduce costs for private car owners and logistics companies.
This round of price adjustments is the sixth reduction in oil prices during the year. The price adjustment of refined oil products in 2021 will show a pattern of "14 up, six down, four stranded".
The next price adjustment window will open at 24:00 on December 31.
The picture comes from Longzhong Information.
Longzhong Information analyst Li Yan believes that based on the current international crude oil price level, the next round of refined oil price adjustments will begin to show an upward trend, with an amplitude of about 50 yuan/ton.
At present, OPEC+ (OPEC+) is still cautious in its stance on increasing production, and it is expected that the next round of domestic product oil price adjustments is likely to increase.
Jin Lianchuang analyst Wang Shan also said that in the short term, international crude oil prices will maintain a narrow fluctuation trend.
