China Commodity Futures Close: Pure Benzene Limit Up, Crude Oil Up Over 6%

The move is concentrated in the energy-to-petrochemicals chain, with pure benzene's limit up and crude's surge pulling styrene, asphalt, propylene and the polyolefins along in a single session. That breadth suggests a feedstock-driven repricing rather than an isolated squeeze in one contract. The split is equally telling: softs and oils like jujube, peanut and rapeseed fell, so this is not a broad commodity risk-on impulse. Whether the petrochemical complex holds its gains once the crude impulse fades is the open question.
