2、 Analysis and Review
This week, the aniline market continued to rise slightly, with the mainstream price of aniline rising to 7950-7800 yuan/ton. Equipment maintenance in the main production area has led to supply contraction and increased prices from suppliers.
On the cost side: This week, the pure benzene market has been weak and declining, and the supply-demand contradiction has intensified. Domestic pure benzene inventories remain high, and downstream industries such as phenol and styrene are generally in a loss making state. Only caprolactam maintains rigid procurement supported by textile demand, and the fundamentals are weak and difficult to change.
