After the Ching Ming holiday, based on OPEC + The optimism of production cuts is expected to increase crude and benzene, plus caprolactam. PA6 Slicing fell to historical low in the early stage, and the bottom line was positive. The aggregate factory sliced and sold, and the raw materials were actively replenished. When caprolactam is concentrated in demand, the supply price is tight for a while, and the price has been pushed up. Nine thousand element / A ton is slightly better. Later, because of the reduction in production, it was difficult to make up for the loss of demand, and the crude oil fell back. WTI 05 The contract was negative, affecting the downstream purchasing mentality. After slicing sales returned to normal, prices fell, and the caprolactam market followed. Up to now, the price of caprolactam in the East China market is on the spot. Eight thousand and three hundred element / Tons accepted, North price slightly lower. 8000-8200 element / Tons.

Caprolactam has the lowest price on the wave. 7500-7600 element / Tons accepted, and the price fell back. Five Is caprolactam less innovative in the month?

Supply return is Five An important reason for seeing empty space in the month. Tianchen Yao long, Shanxi orchid, Nanjing Oriental installation will be Four End of month and Five Month overhaul ends. The Shijiazhuang refining and chemical unit has been restarted and will be discharged at the end of this month. The application of Jiangsu Haili remanufacturing has been approved by the government. Five The month will also restart, so if the device is restarted as scheduled, Five The supply of caprolactam in January will be significantly relaxed.

The cost end is Five The monthly decline provides uncertainty, and the price of benzene remains at present. 3000-3100 element / Tons, Sinopec's listing price is stable. Three thousand and fifty element / Ton is the lowest point in the front. Two thousand and three hundred element / Tons still high Seven hundred and fifty element / Tons. According to the price of benzene and caprolactam, the price difference of benzene and benzoic acid is basically. Five thousand element / The caprolactam is maintained near the cost.

Five In the month of pure benzene, from the basic perspective, the supply of pure benzene has become more relaxed and crude oil has maintained a low level due to the increase in supply and the supply of goods to Hong Kong. However, due to the fact that there is still a decline in the purchasing of crude oil or restriction of pure benzene, the price of pure benzene is hard to fall back to the earlier stage. Two thousand and three hundred element / T low or in Three thousand element / There is a concussion near tonnes.

On the whole, supply is increasing. Five Caprolactam market is still empty in July, and there is a certain drop in price. However, due to the complexity of the external environment at present, Five We need to be cautious about the changes in crude oil and benzene in the specific circumstances of the month, and be cautious and flexible.
