4-1. Benzene Price Trend in the Past Years Since 2009, price trend has changed from USCP>EUCP>ACP to EUCP>USCP>ACP more frequently. Prices of Crude Oil and Benzene Year / Month 5. Summary Global Balance - Benzene s global growth rate of supply and demand from 2011 to 2014 is 4%. - Asian surplus will still offset the shortage in Europe and US, especially that West Europe will see more shortage in the future. Asia as a Whole - In 2011-2014, benzene s demand and supply will increase by 6.4% and 7.1% respectively. Far East Asia - Japan: Surplus of 200KT will remain with decreasing supply and demand. - S. Korea: Though supply and demand both on the rise, surplus of over 1000KT will widen. - Taiwan: A region with stable import of 600-700KT per year. - China Mainland: With supply growth faster than demand, the market will become long. Southeast Asia - Increasing supply from Singapore and India will lead to larger surplus. Forecast for Price - As surplus in Asia is estimated to increase, spread between the prices in Asia and the values in Europe and US will remain. Market Sentiment from September 2011 to Present Benzene market sentiment has been gloomy since Sep, as credit crisis in Europe and economy recession in the US resulted in declines of benzene prices in the two regions and then made its derivatives difficult to be exported there, and also because benzene production was hard to reduce on bullish PX sentiment, but demand was even dampened by the flood in Thailand. 42
