Industrial chain: the hydrobenzene market is affected by the replenishment of traders, and the price has stopped falling and stabilized. However, in the long run, the price of raw materials continues to fall, which does not support the price of hydrobenzene, and the downstream market just needs to be flat; the downstream unsaturated resin market is in a horizontal direction, with strong market wait-and-see sentiment, and with maleic anhydride, the cost pressure is becoming increasingly obvious.
