PriceSeek analysis of pure benzene, with a bullish-bearish score of 1.5: The ex-factory price of pure benzene has been raised by 100 yuan to 6,053 yuan per ton, indicating tight supply or increased demand in the spot market, which directly benefits spot prices. Combined with data from the Dalian Commodity Exchange's pure benzene futures, such as the 2603 contract (closing price of 6,130 yuan, up 58 yuan) and the 2604 contract (closing price of 6,178 yuan, up 51 yuan), recent contracts have generally risen with increased open interest. The spot price adjustment may strengthen the upward trend in futures, as futures prices reflect future supply and demand expectations. Overall market sentiment is positive, but considering the magnitude of the increase (approximately 1.65%) is not at an extreme level, the score is moderately bullish at +1.5.
