This week, Sinopec's pure benzene listing price stabilized, and the price of pure benzene in Shandong rebounded slightly. In the first half of the week, Shandong pure benzene experienced a wave of bottoming out rebounds. In the second half of the week, it was continuously affected by higher inventories. The market mentality was slightly worse and prices stabilized.

From June 10 to the present, nitric acid in East China has been operating steadily, and the price in East China is 1,450 RMB/ton.

This week, supported by the cost side and the release of inventory pressure, the aniline in Shandong rose slightly by 100 RMB/ton. Cargo was the main source of goods in East China, and the pressure was also relatively small.

Market outlook

From the current cost perspective, port inventories remain high, and large-scale installations overhauled in the previous period have been restarted, and market supply pressure will continue to increase in the later period. Downstream phenolic and ketone enterprises have lowered the operating rate due to maintenance, further forming a negative effect on pure benzene.

At present, aniline market volatility is not big, there will be small fluctuations in the price stability.
