August 17 is the ninth 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.

It's estimated that national benchmark product oil prices would be slashed by around 210 yuan per tonne effective Wednesday.
