Published on 2026-11-04

I. Key Points

  1. Crude Oil: On November 3, the US-Iran situation did not escalate ahead of the US midterm elections, easing concerns over supply risks and causing international oil prices to fall. NYMEX WTI crude futures (December contract) closed at $96.09/bbl, down $0.37 (-0.38%). ICE Brent crude futures (January contract) closed at $103.60/bbl, down $1.17 (-1.12%). China INE crude oil futures (December 2026 contract) fell by 50.3 yuan to 694.9 yuan/bbl; night session prices dropped a further 16.1 yuan to 678.8 yuan/bbl.
  2. Gasoline: Gasoline prices at Shandong refineries declined yesterday, reflecting inventory accumulation.
  3. Mixed C5: Trading sentiment in the Shandong market for Mixed C5 remained sluggish yesterday.

Core Logic: Significant overnight declines in crude oil prices led to a downturn in the gasoline market and a subsequent drop in Shandong Mixed C5 prices.
