Analysis review

The market price of CPL had increased this week. The price of raw material pure benzene had been lowered, weakening cost support. Some companies underwent maintenance or load reduction of CPL units, resulting in tight spot supply in the market and stable downstream demand. Supported by supply and demand, the market trend of CPL was improving. As of November 24th, Sinopec's high-end liquid premium product, CPL, had a self delivery settlement price of 13,500 RMB/ton this week.

Market outlook

SunSirs’ CPL Analysts believe that in recent days, the CPL market was mainly upward. The market for raw material pure benzene was weakening, with insufficient cost support. In the later stage, as the enterprise facilities gradually recover, the supply shortage phenomenon had been alleviated. It is expected that the price of CPL will consolidate and operate in the short term.
