On January 15, Dongying Fuhai Weilian Petrochemical raised the ex-factory price of pure benzene (petroleum benzene) by 20 yuan, with the latest quotation at 5,473 yuan/ton. PriceSeek's analysis of pure benzene shows a long-short score of 1. The increase of 20 yuan in the ex-factory price of pure benzene to 5,473 yuan/ton indicates tight supply or increased demand in the spot market, which is favorable for spot prices. Considering the recent contract data for pure benzene futures, such as the closing price of the 2603 contract at 5,707 yuan on January 14 (an increase of 115 yuan), the rise in spot prices may drive futures prices upward, benefiting the futures market.
