[Chempricehub] Oct 9: Both the U.S. and Iran indicated that negotiations and dialogues are ongoing, easing market concerns. However, hurricane-related disruptions to U.S. crude oil production continued, pushing international crude prices higher. NYMEX WTI crude futures (November contract) closed at $91.85/bbl, up $0.36/bbl (+0.39% day-over-day). ICE Brent crude futures (December contract) closed at $104.72/bbl, up $0.44/bbl (+0.42% day-over-day). China INE crude oil futures (November 2026 contract) rose by 3.9 yuan/barrel to 741.3 yuan/barrel during the day session but fell by 1.5 yuan/barrel to 739.8 yuan/barrel in the night session.
Benzene Price Adjustment: Sinopec refineries in East China, South China, and Central China raised their benzene prices by 400 RMB/ton to 10,600 RMB/ton, effective October 9.
