Last night and this morning, international oil prices suddenly rose sharply during the session. Car owners who have just experienced the joy of "five consecutive drops" in gasoline and diesel are likely to see an increase in oil prices in the next round of oil price adjustment windows. , and the price adjustment range may not be small, and the time will be next Tuesday, September 6 at 24:00.

As of the close early this morning, New York crude oil futures were reported at US$96.94/barrel, an increase of 4.17%; London Brent crude oil futures once again exceeded the US$100 mark, reporting at US$102.95/barrel, an increase of 3.98%. International oil prices have risen significantly in three of the past five trading days, with New York crude oil futures rising by more than 7% and Brent crude oil futures rising by 6.47%.

Why did international oil prices suddenly rise amid the weakening demand for crude oil caused by the prospect of a global economic recession? Analysts believe that OPEC+'s possible production cuts and the unrest in Libya are the main factors leading to rising oil prices.

As one of the world's major oil producers, last week, Saudi Arabia said OPEC+ may cut production to stabilize the volatile crude oil market. The United Arab Emirates also recently stated that it would stand on the same front as Saudi Arabia.

htmlOn August 28, armed conflict broke out in Libya, which is also an oil-producing country. In the past, conflicts in Libya have affected crude oil production many times. In addition, the possible postponement of the US-Iran nuclear negotiations has lowered expectations for the resumption of Iran's crude oil exports. Kazakhstan's largest crude oil export terminal has not yet been repaired. The decrease in US crude oil inventories is also a factor driving up international oil prices.

According to analysis by industry insiders, as of last weekend, the increase in domestic oil prices has reached about 250 yuan/ton, which translates to an increase of about 20 cents per liter. After the sharp rise in international oil prices last night and this morning, the increase has exceeded 20 cents per liter. The final increase will depend on the performance of international oil prices in the next week.

Last Tuesday night, domestic oil prices just experienced a reduction, in which No. 92 gasoline in our province was reduced by 0.16 yuan/liter, and No. 95 gasoline was reduced by 0.18 yuan/liter. During the "five consecutive reductions", the cumulative price of No. 92 gasoline was reduced by 1.05 yuan per liter. Filling up a tank of gas (calculated as 50 liters) in a private car can save 52.5 yuan; the cumulative price of No. 95 gasoline was reduced by 1.12 yuan per liter.

At present, the retail price of No. 92 gasoline in our province is 8.24 yuan/liter, No. 95 gasoline is 8.76 yuan/liter, and No. 0 diesel is 7.93 yuan/liter. This means that after the oil price adjustment next Tuesday night, No. 0 diesel oil will most likely reach the 8 yuan mark again, and No. 95 gasoline may also reach the 9 yuan mark again.
