Today, Sinopec’s caprolactam rose to enhance confidence in the market. The downstream side mainly purchased on demand, and the recent single volume was warmer. Raw material pure benzene was supported by a sharp drop in crude oil production capacity and a stronger cost side, and the price of pure benzene in the external market rose. Domestic pure benzene was boosted, and the low inventory of enterprises was favorable, and the price continued to rise, which strongly supported the cost of caprolactam.
