The increase of Shandong civil gas is about 30-50 RMB/ton, and the current market mainstream transaction price is 4180-4200 RMB/ton. On the supply side, the supply of civil gas in Shandong has not changed significantly in recent days. On the demand side, due to the obvious warming of the weather, slow terminal demand, long replenishment cycle in the downstream, and weak overall market demand, the current manufacturers are more cautious in ensuring shipment.

The settlement price of the main contract in the Brent crude oil futures market was US $68.46/barrel, up to US $2.02 or 3.0%. Due to the continuous vaccination, global demand grew; Optimistic market expectations overshadowed the potential risk factors of Iran's crude oil production returning to the international market.

On the whole, with the boost of the international crude oil boom, the enthusiasm for downstream market entry has improved, and the market transaction atmosphere is mild. However, the market negative factors are still in place, the terminal consumption is slow, the traditional consumption off-season is coming, and the manufacturers mainly guarantee the delivery. It is expected that the market price of Shandong civil gas will be firm for the time being, and there is still the possibility of a decline in the long term.
