Analysis and comments: in terms of crude oil, under the political situation in Russia and Ukraine, the fear of tight supply in the future remains unabated, and the EU is considering gradually stopping purchasing crude oil from Russia, which will further aggravate the expectation of supply tightening. Superimposed on the obvious decline of crude oil inventory in the United States, the inventory of refined oil also decreased, and the oil price is supported upward.
Today, Jincheng Petrochemical's benzene increased by 100 RMB/ton, Xinhai Petrochemical's benzene increased by 50 RMB/ton, and Weilian chemical's benzene increased by 50 RMB/ton.
