1、 Price trend

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, the aniline market accelerated its decline in April and remained stable at a low level at the end of the month. On April 1st, the market price of aniline was 8025 yuan/ton, and on April 28th it was 7532 yuan/ton, a decrease of 6.14% during the month and a decrease of 38.72% compared to the same period last year.
2、 Analysis and Review
Aniline maintained a downward trend in April. At the beginning of the month, the raw material pure benzene stopped falling and rebounded, with increased support for aniline. However, the demand was average and supported by cost, while aniline remained stable. Subsequently, due to the impact of tariff policies, the pure benzene market saw a significant decline, coupled with the restart of major aniline maintenance facilities, leading to an expected increase in supply. Downstream market entry is cautious, procurement is relatively light, and under the influence of multiple negative factors, aniline has been lowered by 400 yuan/ton, and the mainstream price has fallen to 7500-7600 yuan/ton. Before the May Day holiday, with downstream stocking demand, the shipment of aniline accelerated and prices stabilized.
Pure benzene: In April, the pure benzene market fluctuated and fell due to multiple factors such as international oil prices, external markets, styrene, and tariff policies. The average price of pure benzene on April 1st was 6659 yuan/ton, and the average price at the end of the month was 5935 yuan/ton, with a monthly decline of up to 10.96%.
3、 Future expectations
At present, the price of aniline is low, and factories have a strong willingness to raise prices. However, there is still a possibility of a downward trend in the future raw material pure benzene, and it is expected that the aniline market will operate weakly in the short term.
