OIL
CDU capacity utilisation rates at China’s state-owned refineries are projected to keep falling in the week to April 25, according to OilChem.
- This is due to maintenance beginning at the Zhenai refinery.
- At Independent refineries in Shandong, CDU utilisation rates are estimated to tick up slightly, as the Shandong Haihua refinery plans to lift production.
- Capacity utilisation rates at domestic refineries averaged 69.75% the previous week, down 0.66 percentage points from the prior seven days amid extensive overhauls.
- Gasoline demand is expected to weaken as stockpiling for the labour day holiday end.
- Demand for gasoil is likely to be robust as warmer weather facilitates outdoor construction projects.
