In terms of gasoline demand, the cold weather in winter increases the willingness to travel by car, and the price of domestic refined oil increases for five consecutive years, resulting in the increased willingness to trade at the end of the refined oil market and the upward price of gasoline market. In terms of diesel demand, due to the cold weather, the demand for outdoor diesel oil such as engineering and infrastructure is declining. At present, the diesel market mostly relies on the rigid demand of logistics, transportation, mining and other industries. However, the price of diesel is weak.
As of January 15, the average operating load of daily decompression unit was about 74%, the operating load of refinery remained high, and the supply of domestic refined oil market was sufficient.
SunSirs oil product analysts believe that: with the advance of vaccination and the favorable support of production reduction in OPEC countries such as Saudi Arabia, the international oil price is expected to remain high in the short term. In addition, as the Spring Festival holiday approaches and the price of refined oil rises, it is expected that the price of China refined oil will continue to rise.
