At 24:00 on August 23, a new round of domestic product oil price adjustment window will open. Due to the impact of the international oil price fluctuation, the domestic product oil price is expected to usher in “five consecutive drops”, which will also be the sixth drop in the year< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > Lu qiaohui, oil product analyst of Jinlian Chuang, said that since the middle and late June, the international oil price trend has weakened, and the overall market has dropped significantly compared with the first half of the year. Affected by the decline of international crude oil prices, the retail price of domestic refined oil also dropped from a high level. Recently, the international crude oil futures have shown a downward trend, and the market’s worries about the economic and demand prospects are still the main factors leading to the decline of oil prices. At the same time, the market’s expectation of slower growth in energy demand also led to pressure on oil prices< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > according to the calculation of the organization, as of August 22, the average price of the reference crude oil varieties was US $93.34 per barrel on the ninth working day of this round of product oil price adjustment cycle, with a change rate of – 4.06%. It is estimated that the domestic gasoline and diesel will be reduced by 210 yuan per ton, equivalent to about 0.2 yuan per liter of gasoline and diesel.

If the energy crisis in Europe continues to escalate, it will eventually affect the crude oil market and support the oil price. < br > < div class =" height "> < / div > Lu qiaohui also expressed the same view, “The high temperature in summer and the soaring natural gas price will lead to an increase in the demand for power generation oil, which will offset the weak demand caused by the economic recession to a certain extent. In addition, the International Energy Agency (IEA) also raised the demand growth forecast in 2022, which provides a certain support for the oil price.”< Br > < div class = "height" > < / div > in the long run, international oil prices will remain high and volatile. Lin Boqiang, director of the China Energy Economics Research Center of Xiamen University, said in an interview with China new finance and economics, “unlike the previous worries about crude oil supply in the conflict market between Russia and Ukraine, the main reason for the current round of international oil price decline is that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike has intensified the market’s worries about crude oil demand. However, due to the high natural gas price, the oil price will not fall very much.”
