June 23 is the tenth working day in current 10-working day cycle.
Under current mechanism, benchmark prices of gasoline and diesel will be adjusted every 10 working days except when the adjustment is less than 50 yuan/tonne. The unrealized change would be counted into the following cycle of price adjustment.
The government is expected to keep national benchmark product oil prices unchanged on Tuesday.
