The cost support is strong, and the raw material market is rising. Pure benzene is negotiated at 8500-8650 yuan/ton, and downstream styrene profits have been restored, leading to an increase in factory procurement in the market. With the rapid rise of pure benzene to a high level in recent times, cost support has increased, and factory cost has increased. Actively raising prices is in line with market prices. Be cautious in chasing up high prices at the terminal, prioritize hard demand, and have limited trading volume.

 

From the perspective of the business community, the raw materials sector remained strong in September. Although domestic units Wanhua Chemical and Changchun Chemical have maintenance plans, downstream configuration units are also undergoing maintenance, which has little impact on market supply. Downstream phenolic resin is expected to weaken during the high temperature off-season, and demand may improve. It is expected that the market will remain strong in September and operate at a high level in the short term, with discussions ranging from 9250 to 9350 yuan/ton.
