Preface
Imagine you're driving a car, enjoying the scenery of the journey, and suddenly, the fuel gauge hands on the dashboard beat rapidly, like a heartbeat. Yes, your heartbeat may be speeding up too, because you know that it doesn't just mean that your gas tank is empty, but that your wallet is going to be slimmed down again.
In this unpredictable world, the price of oil, pig and corn is like an actor on stage, sometimes surprising and sometimes worrying. Today, we're going to talk about what's happening on this stage. On April 12th, what "surprises" will these indispensable elements of our lives bring us? Let's unveil the prelude to this suspense together.
1. Oil price "jump": the price change of No. 92 gasoline
No. 92 gasoline, the "power source" of our daily life, has been restless lately. On April 12, the price of No. 92 gasoline is expected to exceed 8.3 yuan/liter, which is already the fifth increase in 2024, hitting a new high in 2024.
There has been a significant increase in the price of gasoline No. 92. In Beijing, the price has risen to 8.09 yuan per liter, while in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places, the price is also above 8 yuan per liter. This price increase is the fourth increase since 2024, and the retail price limit of No. 92 gasoline in most parts of the country is around 7.7-7.8 yuan/liter. Such a change has undoubtedly brought a lot of impact to the majority of car owners.
This price change has undoubtedly brought a lot of pressure to our lives. Fill up a tank of gas and the cost increases again. However, the good news is that the next oil price adjustment is scheduled for 24 o'clock on April 16, and we can wait a little to see if there will be a turnaround.
Second, the "driving force" behind the rise in oil prices: fluctuations in the international crude oil market
So, what caused this rise in oil prices? The answer lies in the volatility of the international crude oil market. For example, factors such as the increased uncertainty of oil supply due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the upward revision of the U.S. economic growth rate have affected international oil prices to a certain extent.
As a result of these factors, the domestic reference crude oil rate of change continued to fluctuate positively, resulting in an increase in the price of refined oil products.
3. The impact of rising oil prices on "me": not only the cost of refueling
Rising oil prices have a direct impact on the lives of all of us. Taking a family car with a 50-liter fuel tank capacity as an example, filling up a tank of 92 gasoline will cost about 7.5 to 8 yuan more than before.
This not only increases the fuel cost of private car owners, but also has an impact on the operating costs of logistics companies. Changes in oil prices can also indirectly affect other aspects, such as food prices. Yes, you heard it right, because the increase in transportation costs may lead to an increase in the price of some agricultural products.
Fourth, pig prices: steady progress
Pig prices, which are related to the "meat" on our table, have been relatively stable recently. On April 12, the average price of foreign three-yuan pigs was about 15.13 yuan/kg.
Although pig prices are showing a stable and weak trend, due to the bullish mentality in the market, pig prices may show a trend of stopping falling and rising. This is good news for farmers and those of us who love pork.
5. Price fluctuations: the "heartbeat" of the corn market
On April 12, 2024, the corn market seemed to be magical. According to reports, the price of Dalian's main corn 2405 contract started at 2,397 yuan, but then the price slipped like an ice skate and finally closed at 2,393 yuan, down 12 yuan from the previous trading day. This undoubtedly brought quite a shock to market participants.
Price fluctuations often reveal subtle changes in market supply and demand. According to data from Jintou Futures, the opening price of the main corn contract was 2,397 yuan, compared with the closing price of 2,394 yuan on the previous trading day. Behind this small fluctuation is a complex game of market supply and demand.
China's corn market is not only a whole, but also has distinct regional characteristics. Taking Jilin as an example, the purchase price of corn in deep processing plants in different regions varies, but generally remains stable, which reflects the market characteristics and price differences between regions.
Epilogue:
The change in oil prices, like the condiments in life, is sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter. But one way or another, it's an integral part of our lives. The rise in oil prices once again reminds us to pay attention to the dynamics of the international market and to save oil in our daily lives. Let's hope that the future oil price movement will be more stable and make our lives easier.
