油价大涨！一夜降温，2月18日全国9295汽油“预涨115元/吨”后，原油恢复下跌，下次2月24日调价，上涨变搁浅中

Core Viewpoint - The domestic oil price adjustment mechanism indicates that prices are set to change every 10 working days, with the last adjustment occurring on February 3, resulting in an increase of 205 yuan per ton for gasoline and 195 yuan per ton for diesel. Current prices reflect the last increase before the Spring Festival, with 92 gasoline at 6.9 yuan per liter and 95 gasoline at 7.41 yuan per liter [1][6]. Group 1: Price Trends - The new pricing cycle has begun, with an expected increase of 115 yuan per ton for gasoline and diesel, potentially leading to a "three consecutive increases" scenario. However, there are still 6 days until the next adjustment, leaving room for market fluctuations [3]. - As of the last working day before the Spring Festival, WTI crude oil and Brent crude oil prices ranged from 62.89 to 67.75 USD per barrel, showing a decline from the previous cycle's range of 65.14 to 69.46 USD per barrel [3][5]. Group 2: Market Influences - Geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and instability in the Middle East, are contributing to uncertainties in oil supply and supporting international oil prices. The risk of Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz adds to these concerns [5]. - Conversely, global economic recovery faces multiple pressures, with non-oil-producing countries increasing output, leading to fears of weak demand and oversupply. Some institutions have lowered their global oil demand forecasts for 2026, contributing to a bearish market sentiment [5]. Group 3: Regional Price Adjustments - The most recent adjustment resulted in an increase of 205 yuan per ton for gasoline and 195 yuan per ton for diesel, with various regional prices for gasoline and diesel listed, reflecting local market conditions [6].
