Analysis review

Products: At present, domestic maleic anhydride prices continue to rise, the focus of transactions in various markets has shifted upwards, the spot supply in the industry is tight, some intermediaries hold high offers, and the main producing areas have the intention to continue to increase the price of new orders, driving the surrounding market upward.

Industry chain: The hydrogenated benzene market is affected by the decline in raw materials, and the price continues to decline. In the short term, the domestic pure benzene market may maintain a stalemate, and the fundamentals of the hydrogenated benzene market are still under pressure; the downstream unsaturated resin market is trading sideways, and the market has a strong wait-and-see sentiment. As the price of maleic anhydride rises, cost pressures are increasing.
