1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The situation between the US and Iran remains tense as the shipping volume through the Strait of Hormuz is still low, and the follow - up actions of US ground forces are yet to be observed [3]. - For pure benzene, Chinese port inventories are gradually decreasing, and domestic refineries are operating at a low level. The subsequent rate of port inventory reduction is related to the rate of decline in imports. South Korea may adjust its delivery plans and consider restricting the export of petrochemical products [3]. - For styrene, although the current inventory reduction is slow, there are expectations of faster inventory reduction in the future. The supply side may see a delay in the maintenance of Zhejiang Petrochemical, and the downstream start - up shows differentiation [3]. 3. Summary According to the Directory I.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East have led to a tight supply of aromatics, and the prices of pure benzene and styrene are expected to remain at a high level in the long - term. The risk of geopolitical conflicts has not dissipated, and the bullish logic for aromatics remains. [3][63] - The impact of the conflict on the chemical industry is gradually spreading, with Asian refineries taking preventive measures such as reducing production and declaring force majeure on some products, mainly affecting naphtha cracking units, which in turn affects the production of petroleum benzene and the downstream pure benzene - styrene industrial chain. [3][9][63] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Fundamental Situation 3.1.1 Middle East Geopolitical Conflict and Raw Material Supply - On February 28, 2026, the US and Israel launched a military strike on Iran, and Iran retaliated. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced the ban on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The US plans to send up to 10,000 ground troops to the Middle East. [8] - In March, the traffic volume in the Strait of Hormuz dropped sharply. The global energy price has risen significantly, and Asian refineries have taken preventive measures such as reducing production and declaring force majeure. The reduction in cracking unit production directly affects the output of petroleum benzene and then spreads to the downstream pure benzene - styrene industrial chain. [9] 3.1.2 Domestic Refinery Production Reduction and Impact on Petroleum Benzene - Asian refineries have reduced production preventively, and the naphtha cracking units are significantly affected. As of the end of March, the operating rate of petroleum benzene decreased to 75.95% month - on - month, and some enterprises still have production reduction plans. [11] - The economic benefits of hydrogenated benzene have improved, and its operating rate has risen to 69.4%. The import volume of pure benzene in January and February 2026 decreased by about 15.1% and 19.8% year - on - year respectively. The reduction in production of Japanese and South Korean refineries will lead to a gradual decrease in pure benzene imports. [12] 3.1.3 Recovery of the Weekly Weighted Operating Load of Pure Benzene Downstream - Styrene's current load is at a neutral level compared to the same period in previous years, while the operating rates of aniline and adipic acid are higher than in previous years. The profitability of caprolactam has improved, and the supply has shrunk, intensifying the tight supply - demand situation. The demand side shows stable performance. [25] - The tight supply of raw materials may gradually spread downstream, and some phenol - acetone plants may reduce production. The demand in India, Thailand and other regions is still strong, and the export of aniline is expected to increase. The load of the adipic acid industry is restricted, but the downstream and terminal demand have increased, and the inventory has been significantly reduced. [25] 3.1.4 Increase in Styrene Exports and Neutral Load Level - In March, some domestic refineries carried out maintenance or reduced production. The interruption of Middle East output has led to a large number of overseas inquiries for styrene, which is beneficial for exports. In January and February 2026, the export volume of styrene was 6.06 and 5.41 tons respectively, with year - on - year increases of about 1672.6% and 11.0% respectively. [37] - The port inventory shows seasonal accumulation. As of the 25th, the inventory in the main ports of East China decreased, while the inventory in the main ports of South China increased. The styrene inventory is at a neutral level compared to previous years. [37][39] - The global styrene industry is facing the dual pressures of capacity expansion and demand contraction. Many domestic and foreign styrene production plants have reduced production or shut down. Some overseas styrene plants are under maintenance, which is beneficial for exports and makes the overseas styrene supply tight. [40][43] 3.1.5 Differentiated Demand in the Styrene Industrial Chain Downstream - In early 2026, the Chinese ABS market started strongly. The cumulative export volume from January to February reached 7.03 tons, with a year - on - year increase of 76.46%. Due to geopolitical factors, some overseas ABS plants have declared force majeure, and the production in major supply areas such as South Korea and Taiwan (China) is expected to decline from March to May. [58] - The profitability of EPS and ABS has improved, while PS is still under the break - even line. Different enterprises in the downstream show differentiated performance. The acceptance of high prices by small and medium - sized downstream factories of ABS is limited, the inventory removal of PS has slowed down, and the inventory of some EPS enterprises has encountered difficulties. The inventory may increase in the future. [58] 3.2 Market Outlook and Strategy Recommendations - The risk of geopolitical conflicts has not dissipated, and the bullish logic for aromatics remains. The prices of pure benzene and styrene will remain at a high level in the long - term. [3][63] - **Strategy Recommendations**: - **Unilateral**: Before the end of the geopolitical conflict, go long, and the procurement side should stock up during periodic pullbacks. [4][65] - **Arbitrage**: Short the EB - BZ spread when the price is high. [4][65] - **Options**: Hold a wait - and - see attitude. [4]
