This Thursday, that is, at 24:00 on March 17, oil prices will be adjusted again, the current price of No. 92 oil is 8.05 yuan per liter, by this Thursday, oil prices are expected to rise by 0.77 yuan / liter - 0.92 yuan / liter, close to 9 yuan per liter. In 2022, oil prices have ushered in five consecutive increases.
The reason why oil prices have risen is because the price of international crude oil has risen, according to the "Oil Price Management Measures" promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2016, the price of domestic refined oil products is adjusted every 10 working days. When crude oil increases or decreases by less than 50 yuan per ton, the price is no longer adjusted. In addition, there is a floor oil and ceiling oil mechanism in the domestic refined oil price adjustment, which is $40 and $130 respectively. After breaking through the ceiling price and floor price, the oil price of domestic refined oil products is no longer adjusted. That is, many people joke that crude oil rises and I rise, otherwise profits will have an impact. Crude oil drop I do not drop I am not the same as crude oil.
Since late February, with the escalation of international geopolitical tensions, international crude oil has shown rollercoaster-like fluctuations, although on March 14, international oil prices have declined, the price of international crude oil market fell by 7% on the 14th, Brent crude oil fell by $8.19 per barrel, a decrease of 7.28%, and $104.49 per barrel, but this does not mean that the oil price adjustment window on March 17, domestic refined oil products will be reduced. Because the fluctuations in international oil prices are too large, it is difficult to say whether there will be a sharp rise in crude oil prices again before the price adjustment.
In the long run, the United States and European countries have announced that they will reduce or stop energy imports from Russia, and dozens of oil companies, including Shell, Henkel, BP, ExxonMobil, etc., and companies in other fields have also stopped their operations in Russia or announced plans to abandon their Russian operations. You know, Russia exports about 7 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products every day, accounting for about 7% of the world, which will undoubtedly exacerbate the global energy supply tension, so oil prices can remain high for a long time.
On March 17, the sixth refined oil adjustment was basically determined, and No. 92 gasoline or will fully enter the "9 yuan" era. But there is also good news, that is, it is about to touch the ceiling price, the future oil price will not have a substantial rise, this may be the benefit of the ceiling mechanism, after so many times, the international oil price fell below the floor price, the domestic oil price did not fall, this time can finally see the return of money, but why can not be happy?
