2、 Analysis of Core Influencing Factors
In terms of cost: The market for pure benzene on the cost side of cyclohexanone fluctuates frequently. Currently, the low price of pure benzene has rebounded, providing stronger cost support for cyclohexanone. As a result, the cyclohexanone market has increased accordingly.
In terms of supply and demand: Currently, there is not much adjustment in the operating rate of domestic cyclohexanone plants, and the operating and production are basically the same as the previous week. The downstream demand side has slightly improved, and the combination of essential procurement and partial stage replenishment has improved the overall transmission of supply and demand, providing some impetus for market price repair.
3、 Future forecast
At present, the trading atmosphere in the cyclohexanone market in Shandong is mild, with stable performance in the spot supply of cyclohexanone and downstream rigid demand procurement as the main focus. It is expected that in the short term, the cyclohexanone market in Shandong will mainly fluctuate within a certain range. More attention needs to be paid to changes in supply and demand as well as cost side news.
