Weekly Market Outlook for Mixed C5

Published on 2026-11-09

I. Key Focus Areas

  1. Crude Oil: On November 6, the market focused on the risk of renewed conflict between the US and Iran, while mediators continued to push for peace talks. International crude oil prices rose slightly. NYMEX WTI crude futures (December contract) closed at $90.83/bbl, up $0.31/bbl (+0.34% WoW); ICE Brent crude futures (January contract) closed at $98.32/bbl, up $0.03/bbl (+0.03% WoW). China INE crude oil futures (SC2701 contract) rose by CNY 1.2 to CNY 631.8/bbl during the day session, and increased by CNY 2.1 to CNY 633.9/bbl in the night session.
  2. Gasoline: Gasoline prices at Shandong refineries declined over the weekend, with production-sales ratios below 100%.
  3. Mixed C5: Mixed C5 prices in the Shandong market dropped over the weekend, with weak sales sentiment.

Core Logic: Overnight crude oil rebounded, but gasoline market conditions deteriorated, leading to a decline in the Shandong mixed C5 market.
