This week, the price of pure benzene increased by RMB 200/tonne, the price of aniline increased by RMB 100/tonne, the price of cyclohexylamine and acetone remained stable, the price of MIBK increased by RMB 200/tonne, and the price of other raw materials of auxiliaries was basically stable.

The overall market for accelerators continued to maintain a lukewarm trend. The market game is obvious, the upstream raw material costs remain high, the accelerator production plant price willingness is stronger, the supply is relatively sufficient, although the downstream tyre customers start higher, but the market is cautious and wait and see, basically on-demand procurement. It is expected that the price of accelerant will remain stable next week.

Affected by the rise of aniline, RD prices changed the trend this week, some markets have increased, the rest of the antioxidant prices remain stable. Similar to accelerant, antioxidant market trend is flat, the downstream wait-and-see mood is still heavy, purchasing enthusiasm is not strong. Antioxidant prices are expected to remain stable next week.

The supply of insoluble sulphur remains sufficient and the price remains stable; the price of zinc oxide falls slightly, the price of stearic acid rises, and the prices of silane coupling agent and anti-coking agent continue to remain stable.
