February 26th News — On February 26th, the 35,000-ton pure benzene unit at Dongying Haike Ruilin Chemical was shut down. Chempricehub's analysis of pure benzene shows a long-short score of 1.5. The shutdown of the pure benzene unit at Dongying Haike Ruilin Chemical (capacity: 35,000 tons) will directly reduce market supply, leading to tighter supply-demand conditions in the spot market and driving up spot prices. Combined with pure benzene futures data (e.g., the main contract 2605 closing price at 6,200 yuan/ton, settlement price at 6,234 yuan/ton, down 48 yuan), the shutdown news may boost market sentiment, alleviate the current weakness, and drive a rebound in futures prices. This event is considered a moderate positive, as the capacity scale is medium-sized and not from an industry giant, but the supply gap is clear.
