    Domestic oil prices are expected to rise for the third time this year, with an additional 8.5 yuan spent on filling a full box

    On April 2nd, at 24:00 today, domestic refined oil prices may rise again. According to Xu Lei, a refined oil analyst at Longzhong Information, concerns about supply disruptions in some regions and the decline in US crude and refined oil inventories have provided favorable support, overshadowing the potential decline in oil demand prospects due to trade tariffs. Due to the continuous rise in international crude oil prices and the positive range of crude oil change rates, there is a strong expectation of an upward adjustment in the retail prices of refined oil products in this round. According to the data monitoring model of Zhuochuang Information, the expected increase in gasoline and diesel prices is 215 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 0.17 yuan for 92 # gasoline and 0.18 yuan for 0 # diesel, respectively. If the retail price limit for refined oil products is confirmed to be raised in this round, private cars will pay an additional 8.5 yuan for filling a 50L tank of oil at a time.
