Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - BZ2603 rose 1.61% to close at 6,124 yuan/ton. Last week, the operating rates of petroleum benzene and hydrogenated benzene increased month-on-month, leading to an increase in domestic pure benzene production. The operating rates of downstream styrene, aniline, and adipic acid increased slightly, while those of caprolactam and phenol decreased to varying degrees. The weighted operating rate of pure benzene downstream changed little month-on-month. Affected by delayed resource arrivals at ports, the inventory at East China ports decreased month-on-month last week, but the inventory pressure remained high. The profit of petroleum benzene increased month-on-month, and the profit level was acceptable. This week, some units of Sinochem Quanzhou and Zhejiang Petrochemical will restart, and the capacity utilization rate of petroleum benzene is expected to continue to rise. The restarted 900,000-ton styrene unit is equivalent to less than the restarted capacity of pure benzene; although some caprolactam units will restart, the overall operating level is still under the negative pressure of the PA6-polyamide industry chain; the operating loads of phenol and aniline are expected to change little. Overall, the supply-demand balance of domestic pure benzene is expected to remain loose. In terms of cost, the market is waiting for the second round of negotiations between the US and Iran. The weekly API crude oil inventory increased month-on-month, and the prices of WTI and Brent crude oil fluctuated slightly yesterday. In the short term, BZ2603 is expected to fluctuate with oil prices, and the daily K-line should pay attention to the support around 6,000 and the resistance around 6,260 [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The closing price of the main pure benzene contract was 6,124 yuan/ton, up 53 yuan from the previous day; the settlement price was 6,080 yuan/ton, and the trading volume was 12,382 lots, down 9,350 lots from the previous day; the open interest was 18,851 lots [2] Spot Market - The mainstream price of pure benzene in the East China market was 6,225 yuan/ton, up 175 yuan from the previous day; in the North China market, it was 6,035 yuan/ton, down 60 yuan; in the South China market, it was 6,150 yuan/ton, down 6 yuan; in the Northeast region, it was 6,060 yuan/ton.
