2、 Analysis and Review

This week, the aniline market has been in a state of stagnation and consolidation, with weak downstream demand and increased inventory in some companies, resulting in a weakened willingness to raise prices. Some factories will be temporarily shut down during the week, which will have a relatively small impact on the market. Under the weak supply-demand situation, the aniline market is in a state of stagnation and consolidation.

Cost aspect: Pure benzene has shown a strong trend this week, with good shipments from Shandong’s local refineries. Shandong Lihua Yi’s 200000 ton pure benzene plant has begun planned maintenance, and Sinopec’s pure benzene listing price has increased by 100 to 7750 yuan/ton. The price of pure benzene has risen, and the pressure on aniline costs has increased.

3、 Future expectations
