Dongming Petrochemical increased the spot price of pure benzene by 300 yuan to 8,800 yuan/ton, indicating tightening supply or strengthening demand in the spot market, which directly benefits spot prices. Considering the recent futures market for pure benzene, multiple contracts (such as the 2611 closing price of 7,038 yuan/ton) generally declined yesterday.
