January 15th News: On January 15th, Dongying Fuhai Weilian Petrochemical raised the ex-factory price of pure benzene (petroleum benzene) by 20 yuan, with the latest quoted price at 5,473 yuan/ton. Chempricehub's analysis of pure benzene indicates a bullish-bearish score of 1. The increase in the ex-factory price of pure benzene by 20 yuan to 5,473 yuan/ton suggests 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 on January 14th at 5,707 yuan (up 115 yuan), the rise in spot prices may drive futures prices upward, benefiting the futures market.
