The wait-and-see atmosphere gradually rose. North South arbitrage closed, Shandong's demand performance was sluggish, the market weakened slightly, and transactions were poor.

Market outlook

The logic of the aniline market fluctuation still lies in the supply and demand side. With the upcoming implementation of the planned overhaul in Jinling Chemical, the supply in the north will continue to enter a tight pattern. It is expected that the aniline market will be stronger next week, or there will be a trend of stabilizing prices.
