Market news was quiet, and trading activity was moderate. The price fluctuation in the East China benzene market was limited throughout the day. Near-month prices remained relatively firm due to slow inventory reduction at major East China ports, while far-month prices remained weak. Maintenance shutdowns at Zhongjin Petrochemical and Hainan Refining & Chemical in early June, coupled with widespread losses among downstream users, dampened purchasing activity and continued to weigh on the market. However, with benzene valuations hitting new lows, cost support has strengthened somewhat. Expectations for a US-Iran agreement have dashed, leading to another surge in European and American crude oil futures. It is expected that benzene prices may rise slightly in the near term, supported by costs.
