At the beginning of the Week, the industry there is no shortage of crude benzene bearish expectations, the relevant information on the surrounding side of the support is not big. Specifically, the benzene outside the disk last week, the cumulative increase of 5-9 US dollars / ton; crude oil rose crash, the market mentality is also insufficient support; domestic benzene market sideways mainly, the styrene spot market to discuss warmer, but temporarily Huaxi disk rebound strength is not.

This week, crude benzene down space is more limited, environmental protection factors still affect the production of coke. The fourth round of environmental protection inspection is nearing completion, but the new limited production action or will start ahead, or will continue until the end of November. This month, the three major producing areas of crude benzene in succession in a state:

Shandong long-term subject to environmental supervision, Luzhong started in the 5-7 into the southwest of Shandong started different, some limited production 1-2 into the majority of limited production 3-4 percent, but the latter point of view, by the National Day and ten Nine held the impact of Shandong part of the city belongs to the “2 + 26″ urban area, so 11 months before the start of the focus is difficult to start, and some coke oven shut down before October.

Shanxi region has been to maintain high-load production, but from last Friday, Taiyuan, the collective limited production of 3 percent, the individual requirements of limited production efforts; Changzhi area recently started in 5-7 into short-term recovery is not high; Linfen The region has confirmed the current limited production 1-2 into; Luliang, Changzhi, Linfen and other places will soon launch a strict limited production program.

Hebei region, after September 20 or will continue to implement the limited production of 30%. Among them, Handan, Xingtai and Wuan and its surrounding has been out of 2.2 million tons of production capacity, accounting for Hebei Province, 2017 – 2018 period out of coke production capacity of 24.44%. Tangshan area before the full load started, whether the implementation of the latter part of the production to be determined. Shijiazhuang area has a certain limited production in the near future, but most of the higher start to maintain the level, due to “2 +26″ environmental impact of urban environmental protection, start or will be subject to certain restrictions, the latter part of the coke prices are also possible.

To sum up, gold nine silver ten period, the coke business will have a certain impact, crude benzene market easy to rise or difficult to highlight the property once again highlighted, Hebei Huafeng light benzene tender results in the afternoon of 5165 yuan / ton, but also to some industry accidents. On the one hand is the recent factors that affect the market factors, on the other hand, this and pure benzene market temporarily stable disk also have a certain relationship. Therefore, the overall atmosphere of crude benzene market this week is still weak, slightly adjusted mainly.
