Liu Wenjie, an analyst at Longzhong Information, believes that in this round of pricing cycle, although the decline in US commercial crude oil inventories is lower than expected, the US dollar exchange rate has strengthened, and the global economic data is still weak; However, expectations of tighter supply, peak summer fuel consumption in the United States and a favorable economic outlook in Asia all contributed to positive development, and international oil prices reached their highest level since mid-April.
"On the whole, the average price of the underlying oil type moved up during the pricing cycle, and the corresponding comprehensive rate of change of crude oil ran in a positive range, opening the window for this round of retail price increases."
This round is the fifteenth price adjustment in 2023, and after the price adjustment, the domestic refined oil price will show a pattern of "seven rises, six declines and two strandings" during the year. The next round of price adjustment window will open at 8:9 on August 24.

"Based on the current international crude oil price level, the next round of refined oil price adjustment will show an upward trend." Longzhong information analyst Li Yan said that at present, Saudi Arabia's additional production cuts will continue to August, Russia will also start an additional 8,8 barrels / day production reduction in August, coupled with the peak of summer fuel consumption in the United States, it is expected that the probability of the next round of refined oil price adjustments is higher.
Wang Yanting, senior analyst of Jinlianchuang refined oil products, also holds a similar view, "From the perspective of the future market, the new round of change rate maintains positive range fluctuations, and the news is still supported in the face of the later market." (End)
