Project Category 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - EB2508 showed a volatile upward trend, closing at 7,298 yuan/ton. The supply of styrene increased last week, with production up 7.04% to 361,900 tons and capacity utilization up 5.2% to 79.01%. The demand for downstream products such as EPS, PS, and ABS decreased by 0.88% to 247,300 tons. Factory inventory increased by 2.25% to 188,800 tons, East China port inventory increased by 28.21% to 85,000 tons, and South China port inventory increased by 44% to 18,000 tons. With the restart of Hengli and Shenghong's plants, the spot supply is expected to remain abundant. Downstream demand is in the off - season, mainly for rigid needs. High inventory and shrinking profits in downstream products limit demand growth. The overall inventory is at a relatively high level in the same period of history. In terms of cost, the cease - fire between Iran and Israel led to a significant drop in international oil prices, and pure benzene may decline under the influence of its own supply - demand contradictions. Although the spot supply - demand and cost are bearish, the deep discount of the futures main contract restricts the downside space. In the short term, EB2508 is expected to fluctuate within the range of 7,120 - 7,360 yuan/ton [2] 3.
