Benzene moved down to Rs 119.00/kg this week after trading at Rs 124.00/kg a week earlier, producing a weekly decline of Rs 5.00/kg. The latest move follows the recent market peak but leaves the product well above its level from a month ago. Indian Benzene prices have gained Rs 18.00/kg on the monthly comparison, showing that the immediate pullback follows a significant preceding rise.

The broader trend also remains stronger than earlier reference points. Benzene is Rs 15.00/kg above the three-month level of Rs 104.00/kg and Rs 44.00/kg above the six-month baseline of Rs 75.00/kg. The observed trading range extends from a low of Rs 71.00/kg to a high of Rs 124.00/kg. Recent movements have nevertheless been characterised as relatively stable and moderate compared with more abrupt price swings.

Current Benzene prices in India are positioned between support around Rs 116.00/kg and resistance near Rs 124.00/kg. The Rs 119.00/kg assessment therefore remains within the stated market range and close to the recent upper levels. Procurement teams can compare immediate supplier quotations with the weekly decline as well as the positive monthly, three-month and six-month benchmarks. Indian Benzene prices presently reflect a short-term correction within a broader period of appreciation across the available medium-term comparisons.
