Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - BZ2603 showed a slight fluctuation, closing at 5441 yuan/ton last week. The operating rates of petroleum benzene and hydrogenated benzene decreased, leading to a decline in domestic pure benzene production. The operating rates of downstream styrene and caprolactam decreased, while those of phenol, aniline, and adipic acid increased. The weighted operating rate of pure benzene downstream decreased slightly. The inventory at East China ports continued to accumulate, higher than the same period in previous years. The profit of petroleum benzene recovered slightly but remained at a low - valuation level due to weak supply - demand. This week, a domestic disproportionation unit is under maintenance, but the increase in imported resources is expected to lead to a slight rise in the supply of domestic petroleum benzene. In December, the impact of domestic petroleum benzene maintenance changes little compared to November. The commissioning and restart of downstream styrene units, along with the expected load increase of phenol and caprolactam, may drive a slight increase in pure benzene demand, alleviating the wide - balance state of spot supply - demand. In terms of cost, geopolitical uncertainties in Russia - Ukraine and US - Venezuela still exist. The market expects an increased probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in December, and international oil prices have shown strong fluctuations recently. In the short term, BZ2603 is expected to fluctuate, with a daily range around 5370 - 5500 [2] Summary of Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The closing price of the pure benzene futures main contract was 5441 yuan/ton, a decrease of 13 yuan; the settlement price was 5447 yuan/ton, an increase of 14 yuan. The trading volume was 10465 lots, a decrease of 780 lots; the open interest was 22857 lots, with a change of - 667 lots [2] Spot Market - The mainstream price of pure benzene in the East China market was 5335 yuan/ton; in the North China market, it was 5270 yuan/ton; in the South China market, it was 5300 yuan/ton; in the Northeast region, it was 5231 yuan/ton. The mainstream price of hydrogenated benzene in Jiangsu was 5375 yuan/ton, and in Shanxi, it was 5150 yuan/ton. The FOB mid - price of pure benzene in South Korea was 659 dollars/ton, and the CFR mid - price of pure benzene in China was 668.82 dollars/ton [2] Upstream Situation - The spot price of Brent DTD crude oil was 64.31 dollars/barrel, a decrease of 0.16 dollars; the CFR mid - price of naphtha in the Japanese region was 567.25 dollars/ton, a decrease of 0.25 dollars [2] Industry Situation - The capacity utilization rate of pure benzene was 76.59%, a decrease of 0.08 percentage points; the weekly output was 44.62 tons, a decrease of 0.05 tons.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - BZ2603 fluctuates strongly and closes at 5,463 yuan/ton. Last week, the operating rate of petroleum benzene decreased month - on - month, while that of hydrogenated benzene increased. The domestic pure benzene output decreased slightly. The operating rates of downstream caprolactam and phenol increased, while those of styrene, aniline, and adipic acid decreased. The weighted operating rate of pure benzene downstream increased slightly. Due to more arriving resources and insufficient downstream提货 demand, port inventories continued to accumulate. Domestic supply and demand are weak, and petroleum benzene profits remain low. This week, petroleum benzene plants are expected to resume operation, and two hydrogenated benzene plants will shut down. Meanwhile, imports will increase, so the supply of pure benzene is expected to rise. Terminal demand is weak, styrene maintains low - level operation, and downstream consumption is unlikely to grow. In terms of cost, international oil prices closed lower yesterday. As the operating rate of US refineries increases, the price difference between RBOB gasoline and Brent crude oil narrows, and the sustainability of overseas gasoline - blending demand is questionable. Although the price difference between US and South Korean pure benzene is still at a five - year high, the positive impact is limited under the background of loose domestic supply and weak international oil prices. Technically, BZ2603 should pay attention to the support around 5,360 [2] 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term BZ2603 is expected to fluctuate weakly. The international oil price faces medium - and long - term pressure due to OPEC's production increase and the slowdown of global economic growth, but the Russia - Ukraine conflict remains highly uncertain. The short - term downward trend of BZ2603 may continue, but the decline space may be limited as the 6 - day RSI enters the oversold range below 20 [2] 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - BZ2603 oscillated strongly and closed at 6307 yuan/ton. In the short term, the domestic pure benzene market continues to have stronger supply than demand, and the low - valuation state of spot may persist. The cost is affected by the easing of concerns about US tariff policies and the strengthening of international oil prices. Macroscopically, the US - EU tariff agreement and the 90 - day extension of the suspended tariffs between China and the US have an impact. BZ2603's daily K - line should pay attention to the pressure around 6440 [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The closing price of the main pure benzene contract was 6307 yuan/ton, up 11 yuan; the settlement price was 6304 yuan/ton, up 21 yuan. The trading volume was 10003 lots, down 471 lots; the open interest was 12826 lots, down 241 lots [2]. Spot Market - The mainstream prices of pure benzene in the East China, North China, South China, and Northeast markets were 6040 yuan/ton, 6090 yuan/ton, 6050 yuan/ton, and 6065 yuan/ton respectively. The mainstream prices of hydrogenated benzene in Jiangsu and Shanxi were 6200 yuan/ton and 5700 yuan/ton respectively. The spot prices of pure benzene in South Korea (FOB) and China (CFR) were 745 dollars/ton and 757.5 dollars/ton respectively, both up 7 dollars/ton [2]. Upstream Situation - The spot price of Brent DTD crude oil was 71.47 dollars/barrel, up 1.17 dollars. The CFR intermediate price of naphtha in Japan was 589.25 dollars/ton, up 10.75 dollars/ton [2]. Industry Situation - The capacity utilization rate of pure benzene was 78.14%, up 0.13 percentage points; the weekly output was 42.48 tons, down 1.04 tons. The port inventory of pure benzene was 17.1 tons, up 0.7 tons. The production cost was 5327.8 yuan/ton, down 118.2 yuan/ton; the production profit was 737 yuan/ton, up 76 yuan/ton [2]. Downstream Situation - The开工率 of styrene was 78.84%, up 0.54 percentage points; the capacity utilization rates of caprolactam, phenol, aniline, and adipic acid were 95.72% (up 6.41 percentage points), 78.54% (down 0.46 percentage points), 69.24% (down 0.1 percentage point), and 64.3% (up 2 percentage points) respectively [2]. Industry News - The Politburo meeting pointed out that macro - policies should continue to exert force and increase force in a timely manner, release domestic demand potential, expand high - level opening - up, and prevent and resolve key risks. The China - US economic and trade talks were held in Stockholm from July 28th to 29th, and the suspension of some tariffs and counter - measures will be extended for 90 days. From July 18th to 24th, the profit of domestic petroleum benzene increased by 19 yuan/ton to 609 yuan/ton. As of July 28th, the pure benzene inventory in Jiangsu ports was 17 tons, down 0.58% from last week [2]. Forecast for the Future - This week, affected by the restart of domestic plants, the production of petroleum benzene and hydrogenated benzene is expected to increase. The import volume is expected to decrease, which may lead to a reduction in total supply, but the loose supply of pure benzene is expected to continue. The increase in phenol plant shutdowns this week may drive down downstream demand in the short term; in the long - term, the demand for pure benzene may improve marginally as downstream plants are put into operation from July to August [2].
