The "May Day" holiday is approaching, and the domestic refined oil price will usher in a price adjustment window.
According to the monitoring data of professional institutions, on April 26, the domestic reference crude oil change rate on the 8th working day was -1.88%, which is expected to be lowered by 85 yuan/ton, breaking through the red line of 50 yuan/ton. If there is no sharp rise in international oil prices in the near future, the next round of refined oil price reduction will be a high probability event.
According to the current reduction range, the domestic oil price will be reduced by 0.06~0.08 yuan/liter after conversion. If the owner wants to fill up a car with a fuel tank of 50L, he will spend about 3~4 yuan less. Although the reduction in oil prices is not large, if it can be successfully lowered before May Day, it will save a lot of money for holiday travel.
Of course, whether oil prices can be lowered in the end will have to wait for the official announcement of the National Development and Reform Commission next Monday. The window period for the next round of oil price adjustment is 24 o'clock on April 29 (next Monday), and friends who drive oil trucks can look forward to it together.
In retrospect, since the beginning of this year, domestic refined oil prices have undergone 8 adjustments, including 5 upward adjustments, 1 downward adjustment and 2 strandings. Among them, only on January 17, gasoline and diesel were slightly reduced by 50 yuan/ton. The increase has reached 200 yuan/ton many times. After 8 adjustments, gasoline and diesel prices increased by 875 yuan/ton and 845 yuan/ton respectively compared with the beginning of the year.
After the completion of the last round of price adjustment, 92# gasoline in various parts of the country has fully entered the "8 yuan era", and 95# gasoline in many places has approached 9 yuan/liter. If the oil price reduction can be successfully implemented, it will end the recent "continuous rise" trend of oil prices.
