In terms of cost, the Democratic Party won in the US midterm elections and promised to push for an end to the war in Iran. US Vice President Vance also attributed the defeat of the Republican Party to the war in Iran. This further strengthened the market's expectations that the situation in the Middle East would gradually ease. Oil oil fell below the 100 mark, and SC crude oil fell more than 9% in the intraday market. On the supply side, domestic pure benzene construction fell 2.3 percentage points month-on-month last week, domestic hydrogenated benzene construction fell slightly by 0.2 percentage points, and pure benzene construction in Asia remained stable. Later, as raw materials arrived and maintenance decreased one after another, and refining profits were relatively good, the domestic operating rate of pure benzene increased, and supply tended to increase. Inventory at East China's pure benzene port increased by 10,000 tons last week. On the demand side, downstream styrene construction declined, while phenol, CPL, and aniline construction increased. Under the influence of high-priced raw materials, downstream profits are generally weak, leading to a decline in overall operating rates and continued negative feedback on the demand side. In short, pure benzene supply is expected to resume. Coupled with falling oil prices, short-term pure benzene futures are expected to fluctuate and adjust, focusing on the geographical situation, crude oil prices, and changes in port inventories.
