Core Viewpoint - The oil price is expected to increase due to a recent adjustment window, despite a recent trend of price decreases in December 2025. The anticipated increase is approximately 50 yuan per ton, translating to an increase of about 4 to 5 cents per liter, which could impact consumers significantly over time [1][2]. Price Trends - Brent crude oil is currently priced just above $60, while WTI is around $57, showing a slight increase compared to the end of last year. The geopolitical situation remains unpredictable, affecting oil prices [2]. - The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a surplus of nearly 5 million barrels per day in global oil supply during the first quarter of this year, which may limit price increases despite geopolitical tensions [2]. Regional Price Variations - The price of 92-octane gasoline varies across different regions in China, with Beijing at 6.70 yuan, Shanghai at 6.67 yuan, and Hainan at a significantly higher 7.82 yuan. This price discrepancy is attributed to local taxes and fees [2][4]. - In the Southwest region, prices are relatively high, with Sichuan at 6.81 yuan and Yunnan at 6.85 yuan. The price of 98-octane gasoline is even higher, with prices reaching up to 9.30 yuan in Hainan [4]. Consumer Behavior - There is a noticeable trend of consumers rushing to fill up their tanks before the price increase, even if the difference is minimal. This behavior reflects a psychological tendency to avoid spending more than necessary [6][7]. - The overall trend in 2025 shows that there were 25 price adjustments, with 7 increases and 12 decreases, resulting in a net decrease of nearly 900 yuan per ton for the year. Despite the upcoming increase, prices remain lower than at the beginning of the year [6].
