Gold bars and gold coins of different sizes lie in a safe on a table at the precious metal dealer Pro Aurum. Gold prices on Friday were on track for a fourth consecutive weekly loss as recent U.S. jobs data and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve policymakers strengthened bets for higher-for-longer interest rates, weighing on non-yielding bullion. Spot gold was flat at $1,910.20 per ounce by 0240 GMT, but down 0.5% for the week. "A resilient and tight U.S. jobs market effectively strengthens the case for the Fed to keep pushing the benchmark interest rate higher. Right now, it's all about interest rates and a guessing game about where the terminal rate setting will land," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.

The answer is while any increase in China's crude oil imports may drive crude oil prices higher, a corresponding increase in fuel exports may weaken regional refining margins. In other words, there are many moving parts to the overall balance between China's crude import demand and regional fuel markets. Another point is that so far there is little evidence that China's crude oil imports are recovering. China doesn't disclose its stockpiles, but it likely added to inventories in 2022 even as total crude oil imports declined. China's crude oil demand isn't necessarily a one-way bullish street, even if the re-opening from COVID-19 is a success.
