At 24:00 Beijing time on January 17, a new round of refined oil price adjustments is about to begin, with No. 92 gasoline raising 0.27 yuan per liter; No. 95 gasoline raising 0.29 yuan per liter; And No. 0 diesel raising 0.28 yuan per liter. Taking No. 92 oil as an example, after tonight, the price of oil will rise to 7.41 yuan per liter.
This is also the first oil price increase in 2022, if your car fuel tank is 50 liters, it will cost an extra 13.5 yuan to fill up the oil. Many people have complained that our domestic oil prices have risen by a few cents, but the decline is a rise of a few cents.
Since 2021, the overall rise in domestic oil prices is not small, according to statistics, last year, oil prices adjusted a total of 25 rounds, of which 15 roses, 4 stranded, 6 fell, oil prices rose a total of 1485 yuan / ton, oil prices rose by 1.17 yuan / liter ~ 1.38 yuan / liter.
In fact, the price increase, and three barrels of oil actually have nothing to do with it, because the domestic oil price is following the price of international crude oil, since 2021, the price of international crude oil has been going all the way up, the reason is very simple, the supply is in short supply.
On the one hand, the northern hemisphere entered the winter, the demand for oil resources increased, and OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers ignored the requirements of the United States to increase oil supply to ease oil prices, and continued to implement the production reduction plan, resulting in short supply of international crude oil, and prices naturally rose all the way.
So why should OPEC stick to the production cut plan? Wouldn't you be able to sell a little more oil and make more money by producing a little more oil? Because oil is such a thing, is a commodity that lacks demand elasticity, its price fluctuations are not affected by the amount of demand, but by the impact of production, even if the oil price rises to more than 8 pieces, we should drive or drive, the country still needs oil to maintain industrial operation, but the production capacity is reduced, the unit price can be increased, the income will not necessarily be reduced, and even earn more.
On the other hand, because of the high taxes and fees on domestic gasoline, coupled with floor prices and other reasons, there are often cases where international crude oil prices plummet, but domestic oil prices have not fallen much.
However, OPEC has promised to implement a new production increase plan, and in 2022, oil prices should remain stable and will not continue to soar like in 2021, otherwise, the car is really unaffordable.
