Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The geopolitical situation in Iran remains complex, and the recent rebound in crude oil prices provides cost support for pure benzene and styrene. Although the fundamentals of pure benzene have not changed significantly, market funds have started to focus on its undervalued status and are driving up its valuation. The future focus lies on whether the US will reduce tariffs on South Korean pure benzene and whether the increasing operating rates of downstream phenol and styrene can boost the pick - up of pure benzene. Currently, the situation is still weak, with high port inventories, weak downstream pick - up, slow recovery of styrene operating rate, further decline of CPL operating rate to a low level, low aniline operating rate, good performance of rising phenol operating rate, and certain resilience of PC operating rate. The operating rate of adipic acid is also acceptable. Domestic pure benzene prices continue to stay low. - For styrene, the decline of port inventory at the beginning of the week exceeded expectations. On one hand, the recovery rate of styrene operating rate is still slow, with the resumption of Bohua pending and Zhenhai Liande continuing to be shut down, and there are still expectations of inventory reduction in the future. On the other hand, downstream procurement continues, and its sustainability needs to be monitored. The operating rate of EPS performs well, but due to the late Spring Festival this year, the seasonal decline in its operating rate will be late, and there is still pressure for a decline before the Spring Festival with high finished - product inventory. The operating rate of PS is gradually entering the pre - Spring Festival decline stage, with little pressure on finished - product inventory. ABS maintains a low operating rate, and the pressure of finished - product inventory at a high level has slightly eased [3]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs I.
