The domestic market of raw material pure benzene was mainly driven by styrene, and the market trading atmosphere increased. The rising price of pure benzene stimulated the enthusiasm of downstream purchases to rise, and market transactions were active.

Market outlook

The CPL analyst of SunSirs believes that the recent CPL inventory has fallen and the supply has decreased. The raw material pure benzene rises, the downstream demand for CPL increases, and the upstream and downstream support is strong. The CPL market is expected to maintain a strong trend or continue to rise in the short term.
