Last week, affected by the epidemic and typhoon, the arrival of pure benzene in Hong Kong was delayed, the port inventory decreased sharply, the spot supply in East China was tight, which stimulated the active purchase in the downstream, and the market speculation was strong. In the later stage, the downstream operating rate decreased significantly. In addition, in the early stage, the reserve of downstream pure benzene was relatively sufficient, and the downstream resistance to high priced pure benzene increased and the follow-up weakened. The market buying enthusiasm fell, and the pure benzene market fell.

3、 Future forecast

The caprolactam analyst of business society believes that at present, the downstream enterprises lack follow-up to caprolactam due to dual control, and the confidence in the field is poor. Raw material pure benzene fell again, and the supply of caprolactam was tight. It is expected that the caprolactam market trend will be stable in the short term.
