Pure Benzene: On October 27, the spot market for pure benzene in East China faced downward pressure, with negotiated reference prices ranging from 10,350 to 10,580 CNY/t, largely consistent with morning forecasts. Weakening crude oil prices clearly dragged down spot market sentiment. Although expectations of weak demand competed with these factors, low inventory realities and cost support remained present, leading to a rebound after the initial decline.
