The market price of upstream liquid chlorine has increased, which gives certain support to hydrochloric acid. The downstream dyes, calcium chloride and chloroethane still mainly purchase hydrochloric acid according to early demand. However, the Transport Certificate in Shandong is difficult to handle, which leads to a large increase in dealer prices. The hydrochloric acid market as a whole seems to be high and consolidated, and the by-product acid is still impacting the market. The delivery pressure of hydrochloric acid is large, and the quality of by-product hydrochloric acid produced by TDI, chloropropene, propylene oxide and methane chloride is relatively good.

WTI was up 1% and Brent was up 2.46% compared with November 8. Pure benzene: at the beginning of the week, the market demand for pure benzene was weak and the price was lower. However, the reduction of hydrogenated benzene production led to the decrease of supply, driving the price of pure benzene higher in North China.

3. Trend forecast:

Next week, oil prices may continue to fluctuate.

III. future prospects

Next week’s economic data is still concentrated. In addition to the employment data, there are PMI data from various countries.
