Ruida Futures(SZ:002961) Rui Da Qi Huo·2025-11-05 09:32Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - BZ2603 declined and then rebounded, closing at 5418 yuan/ton. Last week, the operating rate of petroleum benzene increased slightly, while that of hydrobenzene dropped significantly, and the domestic pure benzene output decreased. The operating rates of the five major downstream sectors of pure benzene changed little, and the overall downstream weighted operating rate decreased slightly. The number of ships arriving at ports increased significantly, and the inventory at East China ports accumulated significantly. The profit of petroleum benzene decreased at a low level and was in a state of low valuation due to weak supply and demand. In November, the planned maintenance capacity of petroleum benzene and hydrobenzene is small, and low - priced overseas supplies continue to flow in, resulting in a relatively high overall supply pressure. This week, the load of East China petroleum benzene plants increased, and some shut - down hydrobenzene plants restarted, so the domestic pure benzene output is expected to increase month - on - month. Terminal demand is weak, and plants such as styrene are expected to maintain low - level operation, and downstream consumption is unlikely to increase. In terms of cost, affected by the strengthening of the US dollar and weak economic expectations, international oil prices fluctuated and declined yesterday. Technically, the daily K - line of BZ2603 should pay attention to the lower Bollinger Band near 5304 [2].
