1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no clear industry investment rating provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - For pure benzene, port inventory is declining slightly from a high level, but the absolute level remains high. The port basis is expected to strengthen further. Korean aromatics plants are under maintenance, and the monthly import pressure is not increasing. However, attention should be paid to the large inventory pressure in the CPL - PA6 - nylon产业链 and the MDI inventory pressure in the aniline downstream. The performance during the "Golden September and Silver October" season for downstream industries should be monitored [3]. - For styrene, the port basis rebounded slightly due to some traders covering short positions at the end of the month. However, port inventory is continuously accumulating due to high current operating rates. There will be more maintenance in September, and the rate of destocking in September should be monitored. This will also drag down the demand for pure benzene, so there is limited support for the single - side price. In the downstream of EB, the operating rates of EPS and PS continue to rise, but their inventories do not show further destocking, indicating slow downstream follow - up. ABS maintains a state of high inventory and low operating rate. The performance during the "Golden September and Silver October" season for downstream industries should be monitored [3]. 3.
