Crude oil and pure benzene continued to decline this week, and the fundamentals were negative under the influence of negative factors such as the increase of U.S. crude oil inventory. In the downstream, the recent continuous losses have led to an increase in enterprise maintenance, mainly rigid demand procurement, a decline in the demand for pure benzene, and the hydrobenzene market has been dragged down, with a weekly decline of 400-500 yuan / ton. In terms of supply, there are still coking enterprises in some areas whose output has decreased to a certain extent due to the impact of environmental protection policies, but nationwide, the production is normal and the supply is stable. After two rounds of coke increase, the cost pressure is reduced and the operation is generally active. Most of the crude benzene bidding prices this week were mainly reduced due to the drag of the industrial chain, of which 6000 ~ 6005 yuan / ton was implemented in Shandong, which was 250 yuan / ton lower than the bidding price last week.
In the future, the business community believes that the increase of crude oil production and inventory continues to depress the crude oil price. It is expected that the trend of crude oil price fluctuation will be the main trend in the short term, which is difficult to form obvious support for the industrial chain. The downstream styrene and other industries are weak and volatile, and it is difficult to find good fundamentals. It is expected that the trend of weak fluctuation in the pure benzene industrial chain will be the main trend in the short term.
