Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - The pure benzene market is expected to maintain a weak and volatile trend in the short term, with its medium - and long - term trend depending on the continuous rebound of crude oil and the fulfillment of imports. The benzene - ethylene market will remain range - bound, and attention should be paid to the downward risk after inventory realization [2][3] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Daily Market Summary Fundamental Information - On September 9, the main contract of benzene - ethylene closed down 0.21% at 7062 yuan/ton, with a basis of 33 (-5 yuan/ton); the main contract of pure benzene closed down 0.12% at 6006 yuan/ton. The closing price of Brent crude oil was 62.3 US dollars/barrel (+0.4 US dollars/barrel), and the main contract of WTI crude oil closed at 66.0 US dollars/barrel (+0.5/barrel). The spot price of pure benzene in East China was 5910 yuan/ton (-5 yuan/ton) [2] - The inventory of benzene - ethylene was 19.7 million tons (+1.8 million tons), a month - on - month increase of 9.8%. The inventory of pure benzene at ports was 14.9 million tons (+1.1 million tons), a month - on - month increase of 8.0% [2] - In September, there will be maintenance of benzene - ethylene plants, and the supply is expected to decrease. Currently, the weekly output of benzene - ethylene is 37.6 million tons (+0.8 million tons), and the factory capacity utilization rate is 79.7% (+1.7%) [2] - The changes in the operating rates of downstream 3S varied. Among them, the capacity utilization rate of EPS was 52.5% (-5.8%), the capacity utilization rate of ABS was 69.0% (-1.8%), and the capacity utilization rate of PS was 61.0% (+1.1%) [2] Views - Pure benzene: Recently, the pure benzene market has been in a weak and volatile state due to the game between cost and supply - demand. Although the medium - and long - term supply of international crude oil is expected to be loose, short - term supply is restricted. The increase in naphtha prices supports the cost of pure benzene. However, the demand is lackluster, and the subsequent supply pressure cannot be ignored. Overall, the supply - demand contradiction remains unresolved, and the rebound is limited [2] - Benzene - ethylene: After a seven - day decline, the benzene - ethylene market rebounded due to short - covering and plant maintenance. But the overall pressure is still significant. The supply is expected to increase in the future, the demand is weak, and the cost support may be weakened in the medium term. The rebound space is limited, and it maintains a range - bound trend [3] 2.
