  Zhongxin Finance, April 15 (Ge Cheng) After the "six consecutive rises" of domestic oil prices during the year, it ushered in the first decline this year.

  According to the notice from the National Development and Reform Commission, starting from 24:00 on April 15, the price of gasoline will be reduced by 545 yuan per ton, and the price of diesel will be reduced by 530 yuan.

  According to the agency's calculations, it is equivalent to 0.43 yuan per liter of No. 92 gasoline, 0.45 yuan per liter of No. 95 gasoline, and 0.45 yuan per liter of No. 0 diesel.

  This is the largest single drop in domestic refined oil prices since March 17, 2020.

After this round of price adjustment, 95 gasoline will return to the era of 8 yuan.

  Based on an ordinary private car with a fuel tank capacity of 50L, after this price adjustment, car owners will spend about 21.5 yuan less to fill up a tank of fuel; for a large-scale logistics and transportation vehicle with a full load of 50 tons, the average fuel cost per 100 kilometers traveled. Reduce by about 18 yuan.

  This round is the seventh price adjustment in 2022, and it is also the first time that oil prices have fallen in 2022.

After this price adjustment, the price adjustment of refined oil products in 2022 will show a pattern of "six rises, one fall and zero stranded".

The next price adjustment window will open at 24:00 on April 28, 2022.

  Luo Meijuan, a refined oil analyst at Jinlianchuang, believes that currently, due to the impact of the domestic epidemic, the logistics and transportation industry and the travel radius of private cars are limited, and the demand for gasoline and diesel is still under pressure.

  However, Li Chunyan, a refined oil analyst at Longzhong Information, said that with the gradual opening of highways and toll stations across the country, the logistics and transportation industry has favorable support, and the demand for diesel oil for engineering oil in various places has gradually increased recently.

Recently, the epidemic has eased in some parts of the north, and students have started school, which will drive some gasoline demand.

  Longzhong Information analyst Li Yan predicts that based on the current international crude oil price level, the next round of domestic refined oil price adjustments will show an upward trend at the beginning.

At present, as the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are blocked again and the uncertainty of the geopolitical situation still exists, the market is still worried about the supply risk.
