In the early stage, the price of raw materials rose continuously, the cost pressure increased, and aniline rose passively. This week, due to the shutdown and maintenance of several aniline units, the supply decreased significantly, supporting the price to continue to rise.
3、 Future expectations
In terms of cost, downstream profits were lost, some units were shut down, and the demand for pure benzene decreased. At present, the listing price of Sinopec is high, and there is expected to be downward space.
The raw material pure benzene continued to decline, and the profit of aniline improved to a certain extent. At present, the shutdown of several aniline units has brought certain benefits. With the restart of units in the later stage, the price may be impacted. Supply and demand still affect the later trend of aniline. Continue to pay attention to the trend of raw material, downstream demand and the dynamics of aniline plant.
