供需因素交织，芳烃价格震荡

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - The pure benzene market is significantly affected by the large fluctuations in crude oil and refined oil. The gasoline crack spread has changed from strong to weak, weakening the support from gasoline blending. Supply may decrease due to overseas plant shutdowns and domestic factory load - reduction plans, but the weakening cost due to falling oil prices restricts price increases. The market is likely to maintain a weak and stable oscillation in the short term [2]. - The styrene market is in a state of intertwined supply - demand forces. The impact of new production capacity has been gradually absorbed, and supply pressure is moderately stable. Demand has a certain boost from exports. However, the weakening cost leads to price oscillations. In the short term, styrene is expected to remain in low - level oscillations, and the market direction depends on export continuity and cost stability [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Daily Market Summary (1) Fundamentals - Price: On November 26, the styrene main contract closed up 1.35% at 6,533 yuan/ton with a basis of 64 (+0 yuan/ton); the pure benzene main contract closed up 0.96% at 5,463 yuan/ton. The spot price of East China pure benzene was 5,330 yuan/ton (+40 yuan/ton) [2]. - Cost: On November 26, Brent crude oil closed at $58.0/barrel (-$0.9/barrel), and WTI crude oil closed at $61.8/barrel (-$0.9/barrel) [2]. - Inventory: Styrene port inventory was 14.8 tons (-2.7 tons), a 15.2% month - on - month de - stocking. Pure benzene port inventory was 14.7 tons (+3.4 tons), a 30.1% month - on - month stocking [2]. - Supply: Styrene production and capacity utilization had a slight month - on - month change. Weekly styrene output was 34.3 tons (-0.1 tons), and factory capacity utilization was 69.0% (-0.3%) [2]. - Demand: The overall demand of downstream 3S industries improved. EPS capacity utilization was 56.3% (+4.6%), ABS capacity utilization was 72.4% (+0.6%), and PS capacity utilization was 55.9% (+0.5%) [2]. (2) Views - Pure Benzene: The market is affected by crude oil and refined oil fluctuations. The gasoline crack spread has weakened, reducing the support from gasoline blending. Supply may decrease, but the weakening cost restricts price increases. The market is likely to oscillate weakly and stably in the short term [2]. - Styrene: The market is in a state of intertwined supply - demand forces. The impact of new capacity has been absorbed, and exports may support demand. However, the weakening cost leads to oscillations. It is expected to remain in low - level oscillations in the short term [3]. 2. Industrial Chain Data Monitoring - Price: Styrene futures and pure benzene futures prices increased on November 26, while styrene spot prices decreased.
