Progress in US-Iran negotiations and the drop in European and American crude oil futures to their early March lows dragged down market confidence. Coupled with the continued pressure of losses in downstream industries, there was low enthusiasm for purchasing raw material benzene, with priority given to fulfilling existing contracts. Spot trading was inactive, putting downward pressure on benzene prices to some extent. However, the lack of imported cargo ships arriving at major ports in East China for an extended period provided support at the market bottom, limiting the decline in benzene prices. Looking ahead, inventory reduction at major ports in East China is expected to continue in June, and market sentiment remains cautious, with few willing to short sell. The market is expected to remain weak in the short term, but the downside is limited.On June 23rd, Futures News reported that crude oil prices fluctuated significantly during the day.

The Middle East situation remains the core factor driving wide price fluctuations. Zhuochuang Information predicts that with the successful US-Iran negotiations and the resulting agreements, market anxieties have significantly eased, and the center of gravity for oil price fluctuations will gradually shift downwards. In the short term, oil prices are expected to continue their weak trend.Indias preliminary composite PMI for June was 57.4, below the expected 59 and the previous reading of 59.3.

JetBlue is Reducing its Summer Schedule in Response to a Recruiting Drive

Airlines in the United States are rapidly recruiting to prepare for a predicted increase in summer travel demand as the COVID-19 outbreak recedes. Several major US airlines have been forced to cancel hundreds or thousands of flights due to severe weather interruptions since September.


The airline headquartered in New York said on Sunday that "in light of sustained industry problems and high demand during the summer," it is planning more cautiously and attempting to be proactive with cancellations due to disruptive weather and air traffic control events when possible.


JetBlue canceled 148 flights, or 13% of its schedule, and delayed 39% of its flights on Sunday, according to FlightAware, after canceling 18% of flights and delaying 48% on Saturday.


The airline noted that "in order to get our operation back on track this week and give extra recovery options in case of more April weather events," it is canceling some flights this weekend and adjusting its schedule somewhat for the remainder of the month.


JetBlue said that after adding over 3,000 additional crew members in 2022, "we continue to have staffing constraints, and these interruptions worsen an already difficult staffing position." It said that it was recruiting "hundreds of new crew members each week in preparation for summer travel."


JetBlue last week made an unsolicited offer of $33 per share in cash to acquire Spirit Airlines (NYSE:SAVE), outbidding Frontier Group Holdings' February offer of over $25 per share in cash and shares. Spirit said on Thursday that it will begin discussions with JetBlue over its $3.6 billion bid.
