On June 23, according to Futures News, as of June 22, the closing price of benzene in the mainstream market in East China was 7185 yuan/ton, a decrease of 485 yuan/ton from 7670 yuan/ton on June 1. Progress in US-Iran negotiations and the drop in European and American crude oil futures to their early March lows dragged down market confidence. Coupled with the continued pressure of losses in downstream industries, there was low enthusiasm for purchasing raw material benzene, with priority given to fulfilling existing contracts. Spot trading was inactive, putting downward pressure on benzene prices to some extent. However, the lack of imported cargo ships arriving at major ports in East China for an extended period provided support at the market bottom, limiting the decline in benzene prices. Looking ahead, inventory reduction at major ports in East China is expected to continue in June, and market sentiment remains cautious, with few willing to short sell. The market is expected to remain weak in the short term, but the downside is limited.On June 23rd, Futures News reported that crude oil prices fluctuated significantly during the day.
