Analysis review
Supported by cost, the price of benzene has risen to a reference range of 7,650-7,750 RMB/ton. The expectation of large-scale equipment maintenance in the long term, coupled with tight supply in Shandong, has driven up prices. Supported by the upward trend of raw materials, the market had a positive attitude and increased participation in operations, resulting in an increase in phenol prices.
Supply expectations were tight. The second phase phenol ketone plant of Zhejiang Petrochemical was planned to shut down, and the operating rate of the phenol industry was only 80%. The enthusiasm for market inquiries has increased, and phenol enterprises have raised their listing prices. Sinopec's phenol price has been implemented at 7,850 RMB/ton.

The downstream bisphenol A market remained stable with little market volatility. The upward trend of raw materials phenol and acetone has put pressure on the spot market of bisphenol A, resulting in less active shipping intentions and a decline in transactions. Other downstream products were gradually resuming production, and there was a stable replenishment of essential needs.
Market outlook
From the perspective of SunSirs, there is not much pressure on the short-term market supply side, and market prices may maintain a slight upward trend under the current upward trend. The terminals pay attention to downstream procurement strength and market transaction situation.
