March 4th News — On March 4th, Dongying Fuhai Weilian Petrochemical raised the ex-factory price of pure benzene (petroleum benzene) by 50 yuan, with the latest quotation at 6,703 yuan/ton. Chempricehub's analysis of pure benzene, with a long-short score: 1.5. The article indicates that the ex-factory price of pure benzene has increased by 50 yuan to 6,703 yuan/ton, suggesting tight supply or increased demand in the spot market, which directly benefits spot prices. Combined with the latest futures data (such as the closing price of 6,761 yuan/ton for the Dalian Commodity Exchange contract 2604), the rise in spot prices strengthens market bullish expectations and may drive up futures contract prices, as the narrowing of the futures-spot spread reflects an improvement in fundamentals. However, considering the moderate increase and the fact that the futures market has partially digested this expectation, the score is set at +1.5 (between general and significant positive impact), advising investors to focus on short-term long opportunities.
