As for the domestic demand for petroleum products during fiscal 2016, while demand for gasoline slightly decreased due to the reaction to increased demand in fiscal 2015 caused by favorable summer weather, demand for middle distillate such as kerosene slightly increased thanks to lower temperatures than the previous fiscal year. While the operation of ethylene manufacturing facilities rose due to increased demand for petrochemical raw materials, demand for heavy fuel oil for the power industry decreased caused by the diversification of power sources. As a result, the overall demand for petroleum products remained almost unchanged from the previous fiscal year. Dubai crude oil prices remained on an upward trend around spring of 2016. However, they dropped as summer approached amid widening recognition of an excess supply. Thereafter, prices turned to an upward trend and exceeded $50/bbl because OPEC agreed to cut its oil production in late September and furthermore, they also agreed with non- OPEC countries to make a concerted effort to cut output in December. Nonetheless, they turned to a downward trend in March on account of the effect of increasing crude oil inventory in the US. Consequently, the average price of Dubai crude oil for fiscal 2016 rose $1.4/bbl from the preceding year to $46.9/bbl. Demand for petrochemical products during fiscal 2016 Takashi Tsukioka increased from the previous fiscal year. Domestic production Representative Director & Chief Executive Officer fared relatively well supported by a decrease in import volume due to the weaker yen. The annual average price of naphtha, a petrochemical raw material, dropped $48/ton from the previous fiscal year to $438/ton. 04 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the US dollar Crude Oil Price remained at an underlying trend of a strong yen until the USD/bbl Dubai middle of the year due to the influence of the Brexiters’ victory 70 in the EU exit vote in the UK. Afterwards the trend turned to a weak yen due to the expectation of an economic stimulus 60 package from Donald Trump, the winner of the US presidential election.
