Weekly Outlook for the Mixed C5 Market (September 20, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-20

1. Key Focus Points

1. Crude Oil:
On September 17, US indications suggested that the US-Iran conflict is nearing its end, with multiple parties continuing to push for a de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East, leading to a decline in international oil prices. NYMEX WTI crude oil futures (October contract) closed at $101.91/bbl, down $0.52/bbl (-0.51% WoW). ICE Brent crude oil futures (November contract) closed at $104.82/bbl, down $1.01/bbl (-0.95% WoW). China INE crude oil futures (November 2026 contract) fell by 33.4 yuan to 805 yuan/bbl; the night session dropped by 42.5 yuan to 762.5 yuan/bbl.

2. Gasoline:
On Saturday, the Shandong refinery gasoline market trended downward, with a production-sales ratio of 91%.

3. Mixed C5:
On Saturday, the price of mixed C5 in the Shandong market declined.

Core Logic: Overnight crude oil declines triggered downward trends in both the gasoline market and the Shandong mixed C5 market.

4. Market Outlook
