Analysis of Influencing Factors

Upstream: according to the monitoring of SunSirs, the international crude oil market fluctuates within a narrow range of $40, with the positive and negative market offsetting each other, and the market sentiment falls into anxiety. On the one hand, the economy is still in a slow recovery period, and various economic indicators are in order. At present, the rhythm and effect of oil production reduction in oil producing countries are also commendable. On the other hand, the epidemic situation in the United States, Brazil and other countries is still relatively serious, and the number of new cases continues to soar, which makes the worry about crude oil demand rise obviously, and the oil price falls into a bottleneck period.

Market Forecast

The naphtha refining industry fell slightly last week, the manufacturers gradually accumulated their stocks, and the downstream purchasing sentiment was general. According to energy analysts of SunSirs, it is expected that the price of local refining and hydrogenation naphtha will continue to decline in the near future, with the average price range of 4,200-4,400 RMB/ ton.
