In the future, the business community believes that before the long holiday, the crude oil market and the external market of pure benzene are not supported enough, and the good fundamentals are limited. The demand growth brought by the stock preparation before the festival has come to an end. After the festival, the production of hydrogenated benzene units increases, and some downstream demand is released. After the festival, it is necessary to focus on whether the units are put into operation on schedule.
