1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - Due to the cold wave causing delays in resource arrivals at ports, the inventory at East China ports decreased week-on-week last week, but it remains at a high level compared to the same period. From late January to early February, multiple sets of devices such as Sinochem Quanzhou and Shanghai Petrochemical will restart, and the supply and demand of pure benzene in China may shift from a tight balance to a loose balance. The 450,000-ton maintenance device of styrene in Sinochem Quanzhou is planned to restart, and the operation of the 450,000-ton device of Bohua is still uncertain, with the operating rate expected to increase slightly. The negative impact in the nylon industry chain is transmitted upwards, and the operating rate of caprolactam is expected to remain low. The overall demand for phenol, aniline, and adipic acid is expected to increase slightly. In terms of cost, affected by the increased possibility of military conflict between the US and Iran, large-scale winter storms in the US, and the recent weakening of the US dollar, international oil prices have risen significantly recently. In the short term, BZ2603 is expected to fluctuate with oil prices [2] 3.
