I. Key Points
Pure Benzene: Iran stated that it is not in a rush to initiate negotiations until relevant conditions are met, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for now, driving up international crude oil prices. ICE Brent futures contract November rose by USD 3.83/barrel to USD 103.08, a week-on-week increase of +3.86%. International crude oil prices rebounded again; however, shipments from Shandong cooled off yesterday, and the market is expected to open lower today with a wait-and-see attitude.
