Raw material benzene: consolidation after the price of benzene fell. From Monday to Thursday, driven by the wide decline of styrene, the price of benzene continued to fluctuate in the mainstream range of 8400-8450 RMB/ton. At present, the overall load of the main downstream decreased due to the continuation of health events, and the subsequent demand support for benzene was insufficient, which affected the mentality of the industry.
Downstream caprolactam: caprolactam market rose. The recent caprolactam market is mainly supported by the cost side.
The supply and demand of cyclohexanone commodity is weak, and the transportation is affected. Under the pressure of cost, the cyclohexanone analyst of business society expects that cyclohexanone will be consolidated horizontally in the short term
