1. Focus points

1 On June 10, U.S.-Iran relations remain unstable, increasing concerns over supply risks and leading to a rise in international oil prices. NYMEX crude oil futures for the July contract rose by $1.83 to $90.03 per barrel, an increase of 2.07%. ICE Brent crude oil futures for the August contract rose by $1.65 to $93.10 per barrel, an increase of 1.80%. China's INE crude oil futures for the 2607 contract fell by 14.3 to 573.1 yuan per barrel, but rose by 11.1 to 584.2 yuan per barrel in the night session.

Sinopec's refineries in East China, South China, and Central China have lowered the price of benzene by 300 yuan/ton, setting it at 7,700 yuan/ton, effective May 29.

3) Last week’s weekly settlement price for Sinopec caprolactam was RMB 11,550/ton (six-month interest-free bank acceptance bill).

4) The latest listed price for Fujian Shenyuan's high-end caprolactam is 11,200 yuan/ton (liquid premium grade, acceptance in June, delivered to East China), effective from June 3.

Core logic: Downstream demand increases, aggregation gradually depletes inventory.
