International oil prices rose in a volatile manner. The weakening of oil prices was dragged down by the strength of the US dollar. The surge of new cases in the UK rekindled market demand worries. The expected return of Iranian oil to the market had an impact on the oil market. OPEC officials said that the growth of us oil production in 2021 was expected to be limited, and the oil price would gain upward momentum within OPEC's more controllable expectations.

SunSirs energy analysts believe that the recent rise of fuel oil 180CST price is mainly affected by the rise of crude oil price, but the market transaction is light, terminal shipping demand is weak, downstream purchasing enthusiasm is not high, mainly on demand, and the rising resistance is large. Business enthusiasm for raw material procurement is not high, market turnover is low, and China fuel oil 180CST market is expected to be stable in the near future.
