Interesting market comparison. The trading logic differences between precious metals and crude oil are quite significant. Precious metals can form localized premiums like the Shanghai premium, but the pricing power of crude oil still remains in the hands of international benchmarks—Brent, WTI, Dubai—these prices are the global pricing centers. Looking at RMB-denominated oil futures, they are essentially more of a risk hedging tool, focusing not on pursuing premiums but on providing an alternative bypass during special periods (such as trade frictions or payment restrictions). The market logic of these three assets progresses layer by layer, reflecting the multi-dimensional interaction of commodity attributes, liquidity depth, and geopolitical factors.

Speaking of which, the comparison between Shanghai premium and international oil prices has really become clear. The difference in pricing power is truly significant.

That's true, but when it comes to crude oil, we're really being held back and sometimes have to rely on others' discretion for pricing.

Shanghai's premium strategy is indeed excellent, but crude oil is still tightly controlled by international benchmarks... RMB-denominated oil futures are more like an alternative option, only coming into play when it’s time to really fight it out.

Damn, Shanghai's premium can't compete with international pricing power, you can see the gap at a glance... The RMB oil futures are just a backup plan, really.

To be honest, the Shanghai premium strategy is definitely more comfortable than having crude oil pricing power in foreign hands.
