BANGKOK (ICIS) -- Asia benzene prices saw an uptrend early week. However, this gain was wiped out by a drop in crude prices by Friday. 

  • Market gets boost from US-China trade breakthrough
  • Early week increases of over $50/tonne eroded by crude drop at week's close
  • Market cautious about sustainability of uptrend amid incoming European cargoes

In this chemical podcast, Asia benzene editor Angeline Soh discusses the situation in the market and some insights from the Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference (APIC) 2025, held in Bangkok, Thailand.
