Zhongxin Finance, January 17 (Reporter Zhang Xu) According to the notice from the National Development and Reform Commission, starting from 24:00 on January 17, the price of gasoline will be increased by 345 yuan per ton, and the price of diesel will be increased by 330 yuan per ton.

  According to the agency's calculations, it is equivalent to 0.26 yuan per liter of No. 89 gasoline, 0.27 yuan per liter of No. 92 gasoline, 0.29 yuan per liter of No. 95 gasoline, and 0.28 yuan per liter of No. 0 diesel.

Based on an ordinary private car with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, after the price adjustment, it will cost about 13.5 yuan more to fill up a tank of fuel.

This round is the first price adjustment in 2022 and the first increase in 2022.

  During this round of pricing cycle, international crude oil showed an upward trend with a relatively large range.

On the one hand, the impact of the epidemic on fuel demand has gradually weakened, while the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) raised its forecast for crude oil demand in 2022; on the other hand, the fall in the dollar was positive for oil prices.

In addition, U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 4.553 million barrels, a drop that exceeded market expectations, and European crude oil inventories were also decreasing, boosting oil prices.

  Xu Wenwen, an analyst at Longzhong Information, said, "Based on an ordinary private car with a fuel tank capacity of 50L, after this price adjustment, car owners will spend about 13.5 yuan more to fill up a tank of fuel. After this round of price adjustment, the price of diesel fuel in most parts of the country will increase 7.1 yuan to 7.3 yuan per liter, and the retail price of No. 92 gasoline is limited to 7.2 yuan to 7.4 yuan per liter. This price adjustment will increase the cost of oil for private car owners.”

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

The next price adjustment window will open at 24:00 on January 29, 2022.

  Zhuochuang Information believes that in the short term, the tight supply and demand will support the volatile rise of oil prices, and it is expected that the retail price of refined oil products in the next round is expected to rise slightly.

  Li Yan, an analyst at Longzhong Information, said that based on the current international crude oil price level, the next round of refined oil price adjustment will show an upward trend at the beginning, with an amplitude of around 210 yuan / ton.

At present, both the supply and demand sides are showing positive expectations, and the bullish sentiment in the international crude oil market remains unabated.
