2、 Analysis and Review

In August, the aniline market first rose and then fluctuated and fell back, with gains giving up and an overall upward trend. At the beginning of the month, due to the low price of aniline and the inverted profits of upstream enterprises, mainstream factories began to push up prices, boosting market purchasing power. Aniline prices rose three times in a row, exceeding the 10000 yuan mark. Subsequently, the market entered the stage of digesting the increase, with upstream inventory falling to a low level and downstream demand dominating. Under the premise of reasonable control of inventory and stable supply, aniline prices were flexibly adjusted, resulting in a weak market trend at the end of the month.
