Next week, the focus will be on whether US crude oil can sustain a $50/barrel rebound. It is doubtful that US crude oil lacks the continuity of a real positive rebound. Under the pressure of pessimistic expectations in the macro market, the road to a rebound in oil prices is bumpy. The downstream PX valuation is about to change month. It is expected that the pressure of price decline will be greater. The demand side is still the reason that restricts the rise of toluene price.

Supply and demand, the early Zhou Caprolactam manufacturers inventory growth, prices continue to decline, downstream polymerization plant low-cost partial replenishment, caprolactam manufacturers inventory pressure slightly eased, the current factory price reduction will not be high. Downstream conventional spinning slicing market this week the atmosphere improved, manufacturers of conventional spinning section inventory decline, raw materials appropriate replenishment, CAPROLACTAM market to stop and stabilize.

As of Thursday, east China market caprolactam Liquid Source Price reference 12100-12300 yuan/ton, acceptance sent to; Northern Factory spot reference 11600 yuan/ton near, cash out of the factory.

Third, the forecast of the aftermarket Short-term cyclohexanone device BOC May 22 parking maintenance, planned for about 10 days; it is rumored that Rousey will stop at cyclohexanone tomorrow; Outside stock sales are expected to decrease next week, but the current manufacturer’s spot stock is too much. From the cost surface, pure benzene market horizontal consolidation, cost surface support is relatively stable. Demand surface, in the short term, Nanjing Oriental has no restart plan, Yong Rong cyclohexanone plant normal start, can basically meet the demand for caprolactam, in the short term Shenyuan the procurement of cyclohexanone is not clear. Overall, cyclohexanone spot supply and demand relatively balanced some, upstream and downstream game. Business community Cyclohexanone Analysts expect the next week’s cyclohexanone market to be vulnerable to finishing.
