Raw materials: this week, the pure benzene market has a strong bearish atmosphere. The coking industry continues to break new lows. In addition, some downstream maintenance in East China and North China has greatly reduced the demand, and the pure benzene market continues to decline.

This week, the price of raw nitric acid in East China fell 233.3 yuan / ton, 10% lower than last week.

On Tuesday, enterprises in Nanjing began to prepare for shipping, and the market supply decreased, up 200 yuan / ton. Huatai parking maintenance, market supply continued to reduce.

III. future expectation

Raw materials: at present, there are many overhauls in the North China market, with weak demand; some downstream units are overhauled, with weak market support; in addition, there is a large decline in downstream styrene, with a short market mentality. But for two consecutive weeks, the decline of pure benzene was relatively fierce, and the market dare not blindly chase for space. It is expected that pure benzene will continue to decline next week, but the decline is not big. Cost side loosening is bad for aniline Market.

Due to the low inventory of aniline enterprises and the overhaul of Huatai aniline plant in Dongying, the market supply is tight, which is good for aniline Market.

It is predicted that aniline will move steadily in the near future.
