2、 Analysis and comment

This week, pure benzene port inventory increased slightly, inventory pressure restricts the price rise. This Sunday (September 6), the listed price of pure benzene was 3170-3450 yuan / ton (the average price was 3410 yuan / ton), and the average price was 0.59% higher than last week.

Aniline rose in Shandong Province stimulated by cost, while spot supply in East China was not much, with an increase of 100 yuan / ton. At present, the inventory of aniline enterprises is not high, and the supply and demand are stable.

3、 Future expectations

In terms of cost, new units will be put into operation downstream in September, and the operating rate is expected to increase. But at present, the profit of downstream products is meager, and the short-term port inventory pressure is not low, and the market news is expected to be weak next week.

Aniline enterprise shipment is stable, consumption growth is expected to be stable next week.
