On January 12, Jiangsu Xinhai Petrochemical Co., Ltd. raised its quotation for pure benzene (petroleum benzene) by 30 yuan, with the latest quotation at 5,335 yuan per ton. Specific transaction prices are subject to negotiation. PriceSeek's analysis of pure benzene, with a long-short score of 1, indicates that the spot quotation has increased by 30 yuan to 5,335 yuan per ton, suggesting stronger market demand or tightening supply. This directly benefits spot prices and may boost activity in the spot market. Considering the recent performance of pure benzene futures (e.g., the main contract 2603 closed at 5,479 yuan, with a change of -9), the rise in spot prices is expected to support a rebound in the futures market, particularly exerting a positive influence on near-month contracts. It is anticipated that futures prices will benefit from the improvement in spot fundamentals.
