At the end of the month, the average operating load of domestic styrene plants was about 80%, slightly lower than before. As for pure benzene, due to the unexpected production reduction of large-scale plants in East China and the delayed arrival of US dollar cargoes at the port, the inventory of pure benzene was low.

In addition, affected by the policy, the downstream construction was not good at the end of the month, and the transportation in some areas was limited, the market trading was gradually weakening, and the market performance stopped rising and consolidation. Business community butadiene analysts expect that short-term domestic butadiene market high consolidation.
