February 3rd News: On February 3rd, Dongying Fuhai Weilian Petrochemical lowered the ex-factory price of pure benzene (petroleum benzene) by 50 yuan, with the latest quotation at 6,153 yuan/ton. Chempricehub's analysis of pure benzene shows a long-short score of -1. The reduction of 50 yuan in the ex-factory price of pure benzene by Dongying Fuhai Weilian Petrochemical to 6,153 yuan/ton reflects oversupply or weak demand in the spot market, exerting downward pressure on the spot price of pure benzene. Combined with the pure benzene futures data from the Dalian Commodity Exchange, such as the closing price of the main contract 2603 on February 2, 2026, at 5,921 yuan and the settlement price at 6,117 yuan, with a daily decline of 120 yuan, the reduction in spot prices may reinforce bearish sentiment in the futures market, leading to further short-term pressure on futures prices. The magnitude of the reduction is moderate, representing a general bearish event, and it is expected that short-term prices may continue to show weakness.
