On May 19, the styrene market as a whole declined slightly. Crude oil fell, while benzene and ethylene fell. Night market styrene weakness falls, has the suppression to the day opening. Although the supply of domestic styrene has increased, the inventory of the spot terminal is low, and the spot supply is tight. In the downstream, the three downstream prices are temporarily stable, and the demand is still low. However, the profit of the factory turns better, the demand for purchasing just needs increases, and the market is short of gas. To sum up, the cost of styrene is well supported. In the short term, the terminal will continue to go to the warehouse, and the inventory will remain low. The volume of tradable trade will be small, and the downstream demand will be temporarily stable. It is expected that the styrene market will still be in the shock consolidation stage after the rapid rise and fall in the short term.

Today, the price of styrene in Shandong was lowered to around 10600-10700 yuan / ton. The price is around 10650-10700 yuan / ton in Northeast China and 10750 yuan / ton in South China.
